CEO Breakfast Meeting | CEO Consultation on VODG 2027 Benchmarking Programme

You told us benchmarking and practical sector intelligence matter. Now we'd like our member CEOs to help shape what comes next. Join this exclusive CEO conversation and help build a 2027 benchmarking programme around the insight and support your organisation really needs.

Our Stronger Together 2026 research has given us a powerful picture of what members value and what they want more of from VODG. One of the messages coming through is the appetite for practical, future-focused support, including benchmarking and sector intelligence that helps organisations understand their position, learn from others and make better-informed decisions. 

We want to build on that feedback.

This member CEO-only session is an opportunity to help shape the next phase of VODG's benchmarking programme before we finalise our plans for 2027.

Rather than coming to you with a finished programme, we want to hear directly from CEOs about what would be most useful to your organisation. What should we benchmark? Where could better comparative intelligence help you and your teams? What would make the resulting insight genuinely useful for decision-making?

We'll share some of the thinking emerging from Stronger Together 2026 and our recent benchmarking work, and explore together:

  • the areas members would most value benchmarking in 2027;

  • what information and comparisons would make the biggest practical difference;

  • whether organisations would value tailored individual reports alongside sector-wide insight;

  • how benchmarking could create opportunities for peer learning and shared problem-solving; and

  • how we can design the programme so members have sufficient notice to plan and budget for participation.

Our ambition is to develop a programme that is shaped by members, grounded in the realities organisations are facing and genuinely useful to the people making strategic decisions.

Your perspective will directly inform what we do next.
