From Insight to Impact: Building a National Financial Benchmark

Why?
At the recent Universities UK Transformation & Efficiency Summit, there was clear and growing positivity about the role a shared, trusted approach to financial benchmarking could play in enabling sector‑wide transformation.

This 15 minute information session (plus Q&A) shares the details of a pilot program Etio has been developing in response to this evolving agenda.

About the session
Etio has been investing in helping to move the sector from fragmented, retrospective benchmarking analysis to timely, comparable and decision‑ready insight at scale. The outcome is our next generation Benchmarking pilot.

This session will introduce the pilot – an approach designed to reflect the realities facing today’s finance and strategy teams. We'll cover:

How the pilot focuses on low-burden, high-integrity benchmarking, aligned to live planning and reforecast cycles.
The key defining principles behind this evolution of Benchmarking: of context, trust, and proportionality.
How this new AI-enabled approach, utilising data institutions already hold, delivers timely insights more quickly and more cost-effectively than ever before.
How to get involved early, the process, and what you’ll receive (in addition to favourable terms) and how the pilot will help shape a future national benchmarking capability.

The session is relevant for:

Vice‑Chancellors and Pro‑Vice‑Chancellors
Finance Directors and CFOs
Chief Operating Officers
Strategy, planning and transformation leads
Chief People Officers; Governance professionals and other Executive Leadership members

The session will be presented by Helen Dove, Performance Benchmarking Principal Consultant.
