The document outlines Greg Gerik's presentation on how to measure social media programs. It discusses common myths around social media metrics and lays out a seven step process for measurement: 1) define the business purpose, 2) understand available data assets and capabilities, 3) frame the implementation, 4) generate actionable insights, 5) execute and measure, 6) communicate results, and 7) optimize and explore further. Key messages are that culture is more important than content, social media is not a strategy in itself, and the focus should be on moving business metrics through measurement.
