Benchmarking the Delivery of Veteran Services (41 slides)
Veteran services benchmarking tool
The veteran services benchmarking tool (41 slides in PowerPoint) provides a summary work plan and template to compare the delivery and practices of a veteran services agency with those of other jurisdictions/ organizations performing a similar role.
Dimensions/criteria specific to veteran services agencies are provided to help compare with veteran services delivery models and practices of other jurisdictions (see image charts above).
Also included are common/best practices of veteran services agencies under each comparison criteria (35 criteria in total) as well as five level capability maturity descriptions to help situate your organization relative to common/best practices found in the benchmark organizations for each of the 35 criteria (see example image for one criterion).
After you acquire the tool, you will receive an email with a link to download the template (41 slides) in a PowerPoint fully editable format as well as the Benchmarking Guide (8 pages) in a Word format.
