Key takeaways
UNCLASSIFIED PUBLIC
• Run quick wins while simultaneously challenging & innovating within your optimisation programme.
• An increase in inconclusive results & UX issues on a specific site area, start challenging the status quo.
• Technical capabilities is more than tools and resource. It's about how the team approaches change.
• You need to be creative and think outside of the box when implementing challenges.
• Innovation requires cross-function teams working together.
• Try running regular hackathons with your team or come up with a format like the bets approach.
