Instead of disconnected teams working in their own silos, experimentation cultures thrive on agile, cross-functional teams working toward the same goals. Because experimentation is a fluid process, apt to change direction with the evidence, it’s also worth addressing how your work is funded. If you’re budgeting in lump sums on an annual basis, consider switching to a “venture-capitalist-style” approach, investing incrementally in ideas under experimentation and watching them play out before doubling down on the successful ones.":1,"#©2020 by David Bland and Alex Osterwalder":1,"#Organize for Experiments":1,"#As a leader in an experimentation culture, you should take a light touch. Avoid the perception that you’re dictating where the evidence should lead. Instead, join your team in posing questions, and be open to being wrong.

You should, however, use your clout as a leader to remove any roadblocks that stand between your team and the resources they need.":1,"#Lead Through Experimentation":1,"#Experimentation pays off when you follow the process swiftly yet methodically. Don’t underestimate the time required to test ideas thoroughly, but don’t fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”—becoming so wrapped up in testing that you forget your goal is to decide and take action. Within your team, avoid differences of opinion through a commitment to following the evidence. Always be precise and consistent so you can repeat your process as necessary and trust your results.":1,"#Experiment Pitfalls":1,"#Section 4: Mindset":1,"#Other validation experiments include validation surveys, mock sales, presales, and “split tests” that compare two versions of your concept by randomly directing web traffic to one or the other.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">Crowdfunding.</em> An online crowdfunding campaign can bring in funding for your idea while gauging real demand—as interested customers vote with their wallets. By analyzing web traffic between your crowdfunding page, online ads, social media accounts, and elsewhere, you’ll also discover where you’re generating interest and converting clicks to paying customers. A successful crowdfunding campaign typically depends on a compelling, high-quality video spelling out the product’s value proposition.
