Challenges… Improving conversion
16
Agility
What’s the optimal?
Resource constraints
Its not always easy to make quick changes
Getting it right first time is not always possible and with finite budgets or availability it can be hard to make best use of that limited resource
Is the proposed change(s) really better than the current process. This is perhaps the most pertinent point, will the change do what you expect it will
![Page 17: Engage 2013 - Creating a Culture of Optimization](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/545bdb86af7959b4098b4567/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How Optimize… has helped
Agility
Compare performance
Idea generation
The speed in which you can turn a concept or an idea in to a live test has impressed
What can we do and how should we approach a change. We’ve had some really useful discussions which have helped shaped change beyond our own ideas
Knowing you can compare performance of any change(s) with the existing process you have is quite powerful
Results Leave the winner live
Have helped me through many discussions with risk and compliance areas - ‘change supported with real customer performance statistics’
The ability to leave live a champion test has to be one of the most valuable elements. You get the benefits of an optimal test right up to being able to make the change
