It explores the top design criteria for successful and impactful business experiments and includes valuable case studies covering problem solving, performance improvement and strategic innovation. To support the process, <b><i>Business Experimentation </i></b>also includes downloadable, editable templates, worksheets and activities for use in ideation and planning sessions. <p/>This business experiment methodology can be used to support a one-off initiative or to underpin desired behaviours as part of a wider organizational change programme, as experimentation encourages people to be bold, take risks and seek new ways of doing things.
