2. Click on “Self-Assessment Matrix and Scoresheet” in “TOOLS”, to review the criteria and subcriteria on which you will be asked to rate your organization.
3. Decide who that represents your organization is best able to complete the Benchmarking Demographic Data Sheet (and Supplemental Data Sheet if appropriate) and to rate the criteria in the Self-Assessment Matrix.
