In relation to her newly published “Experimentation Fieldbook”, Liedtka will share her mastery on experimentation as an essential part of the Innovation process.
Experimentation is the link between generating new ideas and putting them into practice. We are constantly experimenting in our daily lives, and organizations place great value on testing new products, services, and strategies. Yet there is a shortage of actionable guidance on how to design and execute high-quality experiments for practical purposes. Jeanne Liedtka’s talk will provide a vital toolkit for all problem solvers and innovators seeking to address these pressing challenges.
