Abstract: A performance optimization system includes a superior performance engine identifying high performance entities and determining benchmarks from data captured for the high performance entities. The benchmarks correspond with factors in the indices. The indices include a growth index, an operational excellence index, and an enterprise management index. A data capture module captures data related to the factors for an entity. An optimization engine determines values for the factors from the data captured for the entity, and compares the values with the benchmarks to identify underachieving factors. Estimated performance for the entity is calculated based on modifications to the underachieving factors.
