Number of initiatives/actions... --- ...generates very misleading pictures, as you suggest. I truly wonder why this is used as a yardstick...Example: At SF in 1988, it took 2 phone calls to 'Electronic Business', then a leading journal, to send a journalist to India, producing 5 stories, each of 2 & 3 pages.
