Business Acumen - Comms KPIs that Count in the Boardroom

You've mastered the craft of communications. But can you explain how your work creates value in language that resonates with executives, boards, and business leaders?
This session features two case studies from the American Heart Association that illustrate the shift from measuring communications activity to measuring organizational value. Dive into a brand experience portfolio designed to turn connections into community and a digital audience journey built for a signature event. Gain new approaches for connecting communications, engagement, relationships, and mission impact into a measurement framework that informs real business decisions.
No finance background required. Get ready for practical tools to strengthen your business acumen as trusted strategic advisors.
You'll leave with:
- A practical KPI audit framework. Learn how to identify which metrics are true indicators of audience, business or mission outcomes and which are simply outputs in disguise.
- A boardroom translation model. Connect communications metrics to growth, relationships, opportunity creation, organizational value and mission impact using language executives understand.
- A measurement approach for connected journeys. Discover how to measure audience progression across touchpoints, experiences and follow-up interactions including retention.
This masterclass is for director-level professionals and above.
