The Data Connect Conference is July 20th and 21st in Columbus, Ohio. Val has been playing around with a device that gives you real-time temperature and pH readings on your aquarium. Tim was trying to get an AI to finish prompts for fiction books that were always non-violent. And now he can do multiple tasks at once!
How does one build a strong culture of experimentation at an organization (and what does that even mean)? One way is to spend a few years working at a company that already has such a culture… and then jump ship to another organization that is well on its way! That's (sort of) what our guest, Lukas Vermeer, did when he left booking.com to go to Vista. With Val Kroll guest-co-hosting, we dug into the challenges — organizational, educational, and mindset-al (?) — when it comes to having an organization successfully and appropriately integrate experimentation into their operational ways.
