Communications ROI for leadership: justify investment without channel magic

Leadership does not buy “better content”. It buys more predictable capacity: less email chasing, clearer ownership and a faster path from decision to approved message.

01Two measurement layers

• Workflow metrics (Lyyli helps): need → draft → comment → approval, late tasks, approval queue, rework loops.
• Channel outcome metrics (destination platform): reach, opens, engagement. These are measured on the publishing platform, not automatically in Lyyli.

02Hypothetical example (not a customer reference)

Assumption: a four-person communications team spends 6 hours per week chasing status and approvals in email. If clearer process cuts 2 hours / person / week, that is 8 hours per week. At an internal cost of 50 €/h ≈ 1,600 €/month. Professional at 399 €/month (5 users) can then be justified by process savings — if your assumptions hold.

Do not present this as a fact without your own measurements. Use it as a discussion frame: which hours are truly wasted, and how many relate to approval, versions or ownership.

03How Lyyli supports the case

• One workspace for needs, cards and approvals.
• Channel-specific versions before taking content to the destination platform.
• Professional: approval state and audit trail in documented scope.
• Meeting Agent helps surface needs from meetings; it does not publish for you.

04What not to promise

• “Lyyli automatically measures communications ROI in channels.”
• “Publishing happens in Lyyli directly to LinkedIn.”
• “You will save X euros without your own assumptions.”

05Next step for leadership

Pick one campaign or change message. Measure current cycle time and rework. Then see it in a demo. More structure: communications management and pricing.
