Study Notes
Types of Experiments
- A/B experiment is designed to get feedback from customers and is more informal
- Convergent experiment is more formal and requires an independent variable (cause) and one or more dependent variables (effect)
Purpose of Business Experiments
- The purpose of a business experiment is to test hypotheses, reduce uncertainty, and inform decision-making
Scaling Up Innovations
- The quickest iteration after launching is allowed by the path of rapid experimentation and continuous learning
- The four paths to scaling up an innovation are:
- Rapid experimentation and continuous learning
- Partnering with other companies
- Acquiring new companies
- Building new capabilities
Challenges of Test-and-Learn Culture
- One of the challenges of building a test-and-learn culture in an organization is overcoming the fear of failure
- The risks of an organizational culture that avoids failure include:
- Missed opportunities
- Lack of innovation
- Stagnation
Role of Leadership
- The role of leadership in an organization embracing experimentation is to:
- Embrace a culture of experimentation
- Encourage experimentation and learning
- Celebrate smart failures
- Leadership should compensate for the imperfection of management's own judgment by:
- Testing assumptions
- Validating hypotheses
- Fostering a culture of experimentation
Convergent Experimental Method
- Step 4 of the convergent experimental method requires a minimum sample size of 30 in each group
- Step 6 of the convergent experimental method involves testing hypotheses
- The four options for decision-making in step 8 of the convergent experimental method are:
- Reject the null hypothesis
- Fail to reject the null hypothesis
- Accept the alternative hypothesis
- Fail to accept the alternative hypothesis
- The purpose of convergent experiments is to test hypotheses and inform decision-making
Innovation in the Digital Age
- A key characteristic of innovation in the digital age is rapid experimentation and continuous learning
- The purpose of rapid experimentation and continuous learning is to iterate quickly and adapt to changing market conditions
