Who is ECMBC™?

ECMBC™ is an association of enterprise continuity (business continuity) management professionals that conduct benchmarking studies to identify the practices that improve the overall operations of the members.

What is benchmarking?

Benchmarking is a collaborative learning process among a group of companies to focus on specific operating practices, compare measures and results and identify improved processes within their organizations.

Key Components

Data gathering in the form of detailed surveys of measures and processes;
Identification of best performers; and
Site visits to the best companies.

Benchmarking looks at best practices

Internally among divisions;
Within the industry; and
Outside the industry - “out-of-box”.

ECMBC™ Mission
