Reflection and Improvement: Learning from Data
1. Measurement discipline but not at the expense of being networked – balance serendipity with strategy, relationship building with discipline
2. Linking social media to outcomes requires silo busting for both effective strategy and metrics
3. Data literacy - work with experts but also improve staff skills
4. Go beyond counting your data, learn from it
