Taz talks about the challenges around Experimentation that no one talks about.

This session is about the conundrum that “data is everything” – a mentality circulating at large the past couple years. There’s so much data, and we often find ourselves simply staring at metrics looking for “+” or “-” to make decisions.

I want to prove to you this is the easy way, but it’s not the right way for a healthy, profitable and experiment-oriented business. These tactics don’t last long.  In this session, we will discuss why, statically, best practices don’t work. It’s fun to know about the competitors, their results and ideas. It may generate new ideas and grab your attention when you’re starting to experiment, but that’s the only good thing. To have a great experiment culture, you need to learn from your tests. Let’s talk more about this?

Experimentation post-conversion or how to switch from buying journey to customer journey.

A quick and dirty guide to pointing out bad practices that create friction to the customer when brands practice the company journey instead of the customer journey.

Our industry is focused on the individual elements of what we do and how we do it, but not why we do it and the overall philosophy for it.
