This is a huge topic that can be overwhelming to many briefing programs. When considering what to measure, think first about how you will use the data. Who will you send it to? What is important to them? What outcome do you want to have by providing this information? We’ll talk about that, of course. Then we’ll go on to explore the four “Characteristics of a World-Class Briefing Program” in the category
