Lucas: It's difficult to see from the inside what is exactly different. I think people who are embedded in these sort of high velocity experimentation cultures, these high experimentation minded companies, it's really difficult to think about if you're in an organization that isn't like that. So clearly the realization was there that doesn't mean you actually understand what a difference is, right? What's missing?
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.
