Examples of benchmarking questions addressed through recent assignments include the following:
- How does the size of a store influence the relationship between average customer basket size and customer footfall per square foot?
- What is the shape of the performance distribution of cashier productivity and what factors lead to lower productivity?
- What is the distribution of performance of salespeople in relation to the achievement of their quotas?
