Summary
In this podcast, we speak to Claire Vo, Chief Product Officer at experimentation platform company Optimizely. We find out the importance of delivering an innovation culture based on:
- hypothesis-based thinking as a starting point for test-and-learn practices accessible to any company
- building both speed and confidence at scale - how to go faster and know you are building the right thing
- tight feedback loops, both internal and customer-facing - and how to bring customers in
- progressive delivery, through incremental working with customers, feature flagging and rollouts
- making decisions based on data, rather than relying on intuition - you can’t move what you don’t measure
Overall, we learn how to engage with organizations where they are, building on visible innovation goals rather than setting the bar too high.
