Crea%ng a Data-‐Driven Business David Cancel -‐
@dcancel
“In God we trust; all others must bring data.”
-‐ W. Edwards Deming
Hi, I’m @dcancel
None
I’m a data geek
Before we get started…
None
Talking, Reading, and Dreaming are Worthless.
#JFDI Just Fucking Do It
Data alone is useless.
Op%mize your business for learning not data.
Use data to validate your assump%ons.
Not to make decisions for you.
Time to talk data.
None
?
Data-‐driven teams are stronger.
Shared metrics == clear feedback loop.
A/B Tes%ng won’t save your business.
Remember it’s about valida%ng your assump%ons.
Always Be Tes%ng. Just don’t be stupid.
Hard to perform worse than the average…
“The average conversion rate in the United States of
America whether you're selling elephants or iPods.” Avinash Kaushik -‐ AnalyIcs Evangelist, Google 2%
#FAIL
Data-‐driven teams can fail faster.
Why is failing good?
“Angry Birds became an overnight success… aYer 51 failures.”
-‐ Don Dodge
It took the inventors 409 tries to get the
formula right. -‐ Wikipedia
Guitar Hero a 10 year overnight success.
Whoops! Wrong iRobot…
iRobot a 12 year overnight success.
