8-1 Discussion: Evaluating Communications

Southern New Hampshire University Evaluating Communications Discussion

Description

For this discussion, read What Are Business Metrics? and Measuring Communication Effectiveness Across Diverse Backgrounds and Missions. In your initial post, address the following questions:

  • What are some key considerations that could drive organizations to put metrics in place to measure the effectiveness of internal communication initiatives?
  • How might the metrics be similar or different with an external communications initiative?
  • Why is the particular business environment organizations operate in an important consideration when implementing metrics?

In each of your response posts, identify two quantifiable business metrics that could be used to measure the ROI associated with the key considerations in your peer’s post. How do those metrics measure what is intended? How might they inform decision making or next steps? Support your reasoning with examples, if possible.
