McLagan offers operational benchmarking services through our sister company, Ward Group, the leading provider of benchmarking and best practices research for the insurance industry. The firm conducts detailed analysis of revenue, expenses, and staff for the entire organization and provides benchmarks to measure the operating performance of insurance companies as a whole, compared to separate business units within the organization or by country or region.
Ward Group benchmarking starts with information taken directly from the general ledger. Experienced analysts examine the data for each company, consider the differences in operating structure and map it into a common framework. The result is true apples to apples performance comparisons to other insurance companies that are not publicly available and cannot be replicated internally.
Ward Group consultants work with clients to:
- Benchmark expenses, staff and operations at a granular business level.
- Identify drivers of performance and quantify the cost of performance gaps.
- Normalize data based on business mix, distribution and geography.
- Balance the pay for performance equation.
