In combination with Nous, Cubane can provide UniForum clients with a seamless and strengthened service moving from benchmarking insights to benefits realisation more rapidly, with less disruption and more certainty. The foundations of the global UniForum program are built on high quality data which allow robust comparisons to be made with others with an unprecedented level of confidence. Participants, through the activities of the annual program, identify best practices and learn from others through collaborative studies.
