Experimentation isn't for everyone. It's world where numbers dance and insights hide, where experiments fail over 70% of the time, where you're proven wrong much more than you're proven right. But for those that practice it, it can be a magical key to unlock growth in your company.
In this video, Keith dives into the five traits that he has found can transform you from an analyst into an Experimentation whiz, and move your company into a growth mindset with a culture of Experimentation.
1. Pattern Whisperer
Your eyes scan spreadsheets like a seasoned detective. Rows and columns reveal their secrets—the subtle correlations, the outliers, the hidden symmetries. You're not content with surface-level summaries; you dive deep, tracing the threads that weave the fabric of truth. Whether it's sales data or user behavior, you spot patterns others miss. Your superpower? Seeing the invisible stitches that bind the data universe.
2. Embracing the Wrongness
Ah, the thrill of being wrong! Wait, what? While others cringe at their missteps, you embrace them. Why? Because each wrong turn is a breadcrumb leading to enlightenment. A hypothesis falls flat? Fantastic! You've ruled out one path, and the next attempt inches you closer to the bullseye. Being wrong isn't failure; it's progress in disguise.
3. The Uncharted Questioner
While colleagues tread familiar ground, you venture into uncharted territories. Your questions defy convention. "What if we gamify the checkout process?" you ponder. Or perhaps, "Why does the bounce rate spike during full moons?" These queries raise eyebrows, but they also ignite innovation. You're the compass pointing north when everyone else clings to the map. Keep asking—the unasked questions hold the keys to breakthroughs.
4. Problem Whisperer
Problems aren't roadblocks; they're puzzles waiting to be solved. Problems fuel your adrenaline. They're your playground, your proving ground. And when you crack them open, the rush of victory is sweeter than the finest chocolate. Keep loving those problems—they're your stepping stones.
5. Decoding the Human Equation
Data isn't lifeless; it pulses with human choices. Why did Sarah abandon her cart? What nudged Alex to click "Subscribe"? You're not satisfied with mere metrics; you seek the human heartbeat behind the numbers. Dive into psychology, sociology, and empathy. Understand motivations, fears, and desires. Because when you unravel the human equation, you unlock decisions. And decisions shape destinies.
Wear these traits proudly. When companies seek wizards who blend science with intuition, be ready. And remember: We're here, cheering you on. Reach out. Let's solve problems together.
