Know Yourself: Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other industries.
![Page 13: Benefits of Having Gaming Commission IT. Who is Thorsten? 23 Years in IT: 7 at DECC (Automotive) 7 at Steelcase (Office Furniture) 7 at 20-20 (Software)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/55141ff8550346e7488b5761/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Know Yourself: Benchmarking
Benchmarking is much easier to apply in a commercial enterprise as almost every issue can be resolved by asking:
“Will this help the stakeholders?”
![Page 14: Benefits of Having Gaming Commission IT. Who is Thorsten? 23 Years in IT: 7 at DECC (Automotive) 7 at Steelcase (Office Furniture) 7 at 20-20 (Software)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110115/55141ff8550346e7488b5761/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Know Yourself: Philosophy
Benchmarking is much more difficult in a Gaming Commission. The invisible hand of the market is not the guiding force. Rather, it’s the Philosophy of the tribe and the Commission. If the philosophy of the commission is unspoken, it’s even more difficult.

IT is a supporting department. The purpose of IT is to make other departments more efficient.
IT strives to create a Robust, Secure and Well Designed infrastructure.

Benchmarking vs. Philosophy

In the corporate world, good IT means eliminating jobs.

Benchmarking vs. Philosophy

In the commission world, good IT could mean eliminating jobs.
Or it could mean freeing people for
other tasks.
But remember…

Other variations?

Know Yourself: Philosophy
20
Why is there such variation in Commissions?Your thoughts?
Casinos vary.Resources vary.
Politics vary.I submit that it’s mostly because they can. There is no “invisible hand of the market” to drive Commissions to a common look.
As long as you meet the minimum requirements of the NIGC and your compact and keep your tribal council happy, you can have
whatever commission your philosophy dictates.

I’m here to talk about the pros and cons of having an IT department.
Having IT works well at GLTGC.
I suspect it will work well for you, but much depends on your philosophy.
