ABSTRACT: Our international research team captured and collated data from over 450 organizations over a 10-year period who have participated by using the proprietary Performance Triangle validated diagnostic instrument. The resulting data set includes public, private, and governmental organizations representing many industries or business segments from across the globe. The team has launched a multi-year project to analyze patterns within the data by the business sector or industry. The focus of this paper is infrastructure companies that we have defined as construction, logistics, and companies throughout the global supply chain that provide the infrastructure for modern living. The resulting qualitative case study and data analysis describe the attributes of the typical company in the cluster. The findings will report on the correlation coefficients to illustrate the strength and direction of relationships identified by the patterns in the data. The paper provides insight into baseline attributes of the typical company to help executives plan actions to improve performance from average to exceptional.
