Most Similar Groups
The assignment of most similar groups (MSGs) can be helpful for benchmarking and comparative analysis, as it is based on identifying similar organisations by considering key characteristics, therefore making comparisons more informed and appropriate. The initial questionnaires described above were designed to gather relevant information in relation to these key characteristics, therefore enabling MSG analysis to be carried out.
Rather than identify one set of MSGs for future comparisons, a series of thematic clusters of MSGs will be used when focusing on specific topics. For example those who indicated that they work with a non-executive Board will be engaged for future governance comparisons, with a different set being used for work around complaints or conduct matters.
