Calculating the ROI on Your Communications
Measuring the effectiveness of communication isn’t enough anymore. Senior management is asking for more direct correlation of the money spent on communication with the business outcomes resulting from it — how it increases revenue or reduces expenses. In this session, you will learn how to plan communications in a way that ties to behavior change. Ms. Sinickas will share examples of how other organizations — including government entities — have calculated the return on investment (ROI) for both internal and external communication.
