Benchmarking: Sharing good work practices Globally.
Commercial Industry often strictly Guards its Research, for the competitive advantage, and industry can often suffer, where non competing companies repeat the same costly trials and failures. Important developments are shared globally through University and Government industry bench-marking building on the good practice, making improvements which are shared for the good of global industry, which are often turned into documentaries to inform and enlighten the public on current developments.
Input in international bench marking reports and sharing good working practice. including America, Australia, Mexico, Japan.
