Benchmarking

Benchmarking is the process of continuously measuring and comparing one’s business processes in leading peer organizations and industry best practices to obtain information that will help the organization identify and implement improvements.

Most insurance carriers recognize the financial impact of subrogation recoveries on overall financial performance as a key strategic initiative; however, until recently, there was never a benchmarking study dedicated just to the field of subrogation.

  • Elevating Excellence through Benchmarking

    At NASP, we are dedicated to addressing the unique requirements of professionals within the field of subrogation. With this commitment in mind, we created a strategic initiative aimed at refining industry insights and enhancing performance standards.

    Creating Insights, Shaping Success: The Benchmarking Committee

    The Benchmarking Committee is actively engaged in crafting thoughtfully designed survey questions, while also identifying key lines of business and critical areas for comprehensive analysis. This approach ensures that our benchmarking efforts are aligned with the evolving landscape of subrogation.

    Unveiling Industry Insights: Third-Party Expertise

    To ensure accuracy and impartiality, NASP has partnered with a respected third-party entity to collect and standardize the data. This process ensures that all information remains strictly anonymous, empowering professionals to contribute candidly while fostering a collaborative spirit of continuous improvement.

    Exclusive Benefit for Study Participants

    For participants of our studies, we offer an exclusive opportunity to benchmark your company's results against the broader study dataset. This comparison offers invaluable insights into how your company's performance aligns with industry standards, helping you identify areas for improvement and strategic growth. It's important to note that individual results and organizational practices can vary due to the diverse mix of businesses and products within the study. As such, while these studies offer valuable guidelines for the industry at large, they should be interpreted by those with a deep understanding of your own business as the foundation for interpretation and application.
