Practicing Parallel Innovation aims to align product, brand and culture through lean innovation principles. The key principles are to start with empathy, be flexible and responsive, and follow evidence over existing strategies. This involves rapid experimentation to generate insights and hypotheses, measuring success metrics, and applying validated learnings to think big but start small with innovation efforts. The goal is for the whole organization to embrace learning through parallel innovation that meets creative inspiration with validation.

16. BROADCAST vs CONNECTED
• People have the ability
(and are using it more
and more) to respond
directly
• The company and the
customer are now on
equal footing
• Marketing is a dialogue
17. “WHEREAS PRODUCTION, BROADCAST
AND VOLUME DEFINED VALUE IN THE
INDUSTRIAL AGE; EMPATHY,
CONNECTION AND ADAPTABILITY
DEFINE VALUE IN THE WORLD TODAY.”
18. RAPID EXPERIMENTATION
Build the capability
of your team to
rapidly build, test,
and validate (or
invalidate) new
products, campaigns
and tactics.
19. IF WE DO X, Y% OF PEOPLE WILL
BEHAVE IN WAY Z.
HYPOTHESIS-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
22. • “spoken to” not “sold to”
• Binge watching
• I just needed a night out
• It’s all about me
• Personal expression
• Money is always tight
• I give it as a gift
• I needed relief now!
• Try it before I buy it
EVIDENCE =
• Must Have Score
• NPS
• Viral Coefficient
• # of Engaged Users
• Referral
• Daily Net Change
• TSM 3%
• Activity Heatmap
• Activation Rate (1d7s)
DATA + INSIGHTS(METRIC) (WHY? WHY? WHY?)
23. VALIDATED LEARNING
• Build a case over
time, using multiple
experiments
• What level of
feedback you need
to produce evidence
the (product, tactic,
etc) should be built?
24. AN ORGANIZATION’S ABILITY TO LEARN
AND TRANSLATE INSIGHT INTO ACTION
RAPIDLY IS THE ULTIMATE COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE.
26. DIVING IN
• What do you need
to learn?
• What can you build
today to start
learning?
• How will you
measure success?
27. “VALUE IS NOT REALIZED IN BRILLIANT
ASSUMPTIONS, GENIUS STRATEGIES, OR
CREATIVE IDEAS ALONE, BUT INSTEAD
OCCURS WHERE CREATIVE INSPIRATION
MEETS THE RIGOR OF VALIDATION.”
