Whether you're just getting started or are ready to take things to the next level, getting internal support and executive buy-in is instrumental in the success of any optimization program. In this interactive session, speakers will share stories from the trenches and best practices for gaining executive support and internal engagement. You'll learn how to use data to turn any naysayer into an experimentation evangelist, and build a culture where employees are encouraged to learn together, fail forward and take risks safely.

74. What
Is
The
Hardest
Thing
To
Get
Right
In
Building
A
Data-‐Driven
TesXng
Culture?
75. 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?!
76. “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
77. Curiosity.

data-driven modern marketing team.!
78. So, How Do You “Cultivate Curiosity”?
1. Celebrate Failure
2. Practice Reflection
3. Make It Fun (and Easy)
