Title: Data – The Lifeblood of a Culture of Experimentation
Speaker: Steen Rasmussen
Description: Too often we focus on gathering data and spend too much of our time perfecting data, but often it is less a question of how much or how good data we have, but more how we use the data we have. If data is an answer to all our questions, then we desperately need to know what questions we are actually asking.
In this session Steen explores how the combination of data, the Google Marketing Platform and the Google Cloud Platform through a philosophy of experimentation can be used and activated to help answer the elusive question… now what?
