SUMMARY:Nordics Community | From Outputs to Outcomes: Measuring Communication Impact
DESCRIPTION:From Outputs to Outcomes: Measuring Communication Impact\nCommunication teams have plenty of numbers to report: reach\, clicks\, engagement\, attendance. But which of those numbers help us understand whether our work is making a difference – and what we should do next? \nJoin the IABC EMENA Nordics Community for From Outputs to Outcomes: Measuring Communication Impact\, a Nordic Connect panel conversation about choosing meaningful measures and using evidence to make better communication decisions. \nConnecting communication to organizational outcomes is rarely simple. Other factors influence results\, and demonstrating our contribution means being clear about what we can credibly claim. \nQuestions we’ll bring to the conversation include: \n\nWhere do communication teams confuse activity with impact – and what evidence could tell us more?\nHow can we connect measurement to organizational priorities from the beginning?\nWhat communication data do leaders need to make decisions?\nHow should we respond when the findings suggest we need to change direction?\n\nContributors\nThe panel brings together Ruxandra-Laura Bosilca\, Olha Laptieva and Monique Zytnik. \nMaría Trinidad Maturana Cortés will facilitate the conversation\, joined by IABC EMENA Nordics Community Leads David Baldwin Friedman and Ellen Summey. \nBring your questions and experience\nNordic Connect brings local communication communities across the Nordics together to exchange experiences and explore international perspectives on our work. \nWe’ll begin with a welcome and introductions\, followed by a panel conversation with room for your questions and contributions. Come to listen\, compare approaches or share a measurement challenge from your own work. \nWho it’s for\nThe session is for communication professionals across disciplines\, organizations and career stages\, with English as our shared working language. \nYou do not need to be an IABC member to attend. \nPractical details\nDate: Wednesday\, 4 November 2026\nTime: 14:00–15:00 CET\nLocation: Online via Google Meet\nCost: Free to attend\nLanguage: English \nRegister to receive joining information.
