(Phase 2)Once phase 1 is complete and the benchmarking team has been formed, the identification of thebenchmarking subject (i.e., focus of the benchmarking process) must be completed. During thisphase, it is important that: • The desired areas to be benchmarked are identified; • The number of areas is narrowed down to key areas that can realistically be impacted; • The importance of each area is determined based on priorities; and • The final benchmarking subject(s) are identified.Through multiple conversations between the assistant director of The Center and one of theauthors, several desired areas to be benchmarked were identified.

Ipersonally use humor and self-deprecation to address many issues in a non-threatening manner,and so I know I have done so with these. The reality is that it depends on the context of thesituation related to these issues. In some situations, humor (and particularly sarcasm) hasworked quite well in making others aware of how these issues are being perceived by othersaround them
