Why measure? • To learn • To improve what we do • To demonstrate measurable value for money • To demonstrate accountability To be connected to our audiences and valued as professionals by clients and stakeholders
How good are we at it? • Much wider range of tools available today • Diverse array of practice • Few agencies routinely measure corporate communications impact • Smaller agencies rarely measure
SSC Comms Function Review • We need to be more measurement aware • Given cost, there is potential to: - share resources - standardise methods and questions - negotiate multi-agency contracts SSC Review Recommendation: Develop and make available a set of best practice measurement tools, trial for one year, incorporate as agreed measures in annual statements of service performance
Our attitudes: “it is too hard” “it costs too much” “art not science” Our mindsets: Arts and humanities Policy and research (stats, KPIs, KRAs) What are the barriers?
We need to step up! • Develop SMART objectives • Manage client expectations up front • Don’t wait till end, build measurement into plans • Best practice communications is: - two-way and outcomes focused - NOT info distribution processes and outputs Take it on - own it and ace it Practice makes perfect
