The ROI ProjectWe will work together to figure it out
• You should focus on measuring the RIGHT things in the RIGHT way
• You need to track direct and indirect value holistically over the period of at least year across all operations
• The project needs to be a collaborative initiative between departments and audited by a neutral party not affiliated with your agency landscape

• Access to your organisational data, from key departments, and the people responsible for their measurement
• Access to your strategic vision, SWOT and KSFs.• An appointed internal rep to help coordinate data,
meetings and reviews with stakeholders • Monthly time allocated for periodical meetings
