(Livestream Replay) Creating a Measurement Framework - with Tommy Puglia

DESCRIPTION 📄

Let's face it. too many of our reporting solutions do not have the impact we expect, and it usually comes down to what we are measuring. Too many organizations may not be measuring the rights things and measuring them the right way.

Tommy introduces the Measurement Framework, a project based plan that works with organizations and teams on calibrating their metrics to direct impact.
