What’s in the Course-in-a-Box
You’ll start with the case for measurement itself — why it matters, and how it can improve your program, build your credibility, and even earn you a raise or promotion. From there, you’ll learn to turn broad goals into SMART, measurable objectives; understand and identify your key stakeholders and set the benchmarks that matter to them; build your own “Kick Butt Index” of metrics that actually prove progress; choose the measurement tools that fit your goals and your budget; and finish by learning how to turn raw data into insight, analysis, and reports your leadership will actually want to read.
