12. Answering “what”
• Early in your process - audience research
• During - reporting
• After - . . . reporting
13. Answering “why”
• First, you need to ask . . . the right way
• Failure can not be failure.
• Gestapo tactics - not a good idea
• Keeping your motivation a secret isn’t either
• “What do you think about . . . ?”
14. who to ask?
• Who in your organization can answer
questions without bias?
• If your analytics team can’t moderate this
conversation, it’s time to “make changes”

20. measure what’s
important
• Once we have some context, we can
establish KPIs (what) and understand them
• Map KPIs directly to tactics
• Know how to react
• Have a plan for when to leave KPIs behind
33. • Don’t ask what until you know why
• Get people educated on the big picture
• Build context
• Define KPIs with a plan of action
• See if your company can handle how
• Pick your sun
• Ask specialists to weigh in on things outside their realm
• Be patient. This will hurt.
