NexGen Advisors has signed an agreement with APQC, a premier benchmarking organization, to launch a cross industry Global Organization Efficiency Survey. This survey is the first of its’ kind, and is considered extremely significant due to the markets lack of accurate up-to-date detailed benchmark data on the subject.
Given the economic climate, and the desire for companies to become leaner and more efficient, this survey comes at the perfect time for companies to get a factual view of how their structure is helping or hindering their business performance.
The GOES Survey will be open for participants to sign up beginning June 15, and will close July 27.

The survey will include multiple industries around the world with employee populations of 1000 or greater, and target revenues of $1B or more.
Each company participating will have its’ organization analyzed and benchmarked by function and region, with additional analysis available through NexGen Advisors OE Practice. As a result of the survey, the participants will receive a thorough report on how they stack up against their peers and best in class benchmarks.
