What Is The Hardest Thing To Get Right In Building A Data-‐Driven TesXng Culture?
To Build Culture … It Takes A Village It takes a lot to “convert” a skeptic, and we’ve discussed some of the key elements: • Analyzing Data To Source An “Ideas Pipeline”
• Making It Cross-Functional
• Documenting & Sharing Results
• Building a Hypothesis Library
What’s the hardest part in all this?!
“Becoming a data-‐driven organisaXon doesn’t just rely on the right technology, structure and processes. The human element is essenXal, and without the right
skills, qualiXes and roles, any effort to be successful at data-‐driven markeXng is desXned to struggle.”
– Jim Sterne, Founder, Digital Analytics Association
Curiosity. This is perhaps the hardest, and most important, quality to cultivate in building a
data-driven modern marketing team.!
So, How Do You “Cultivate Curiosity”?
1. Celebrate Failure
2. Practice Reflection
3. Make It Fun (and Easy)
#1: Embrace Failure. “Failure = Education.” We are not all Steve Jobs (though we’d like to think so).!
oDesk Money Back Guarantee!
#2: Practice Reflection. What we do demands our care, AND our revision.!
#3: Make It Fun (and Easy). Make asking “why?” fun and engaging.!
