Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for generating a customized output deck, wherein the customized output deck includes organization metrics and normalization indices. The customized output deck may be used to benchmark an organization'"'"'s performance within a given industry. The data utilized to create the normalization indices is gathered from a plurality of organizations however normalization of the data prohibits a connection to be determined between a specific organization and a specific piece of data. The system and method utilizes a set of parameters to populate and format a portion of the slides within the customized output deck.
