Experimentation
We believe in experimenting our way through change over executing tasks in a plan
Experimentation vs traditional thinking
Two different assumptions about how change should work.
Lean Change
We can work on reducing uncertainty by continual experimentation. The more ickiness we feel, the more important it becomes to experiment more frequently, in smaller chunks.
Traditional Change Management
Experimentation is an excuse for people who don't know how to plan properly. If we plan things in the right way, it'll work.
Today’s world of change is filled with uncertainty and Experimentation helps us make sense of our context in order to work on reducing it.
There's a time to learn, and there's a time to get stuff done. It's important to know the difference. We can't know everything all upfront, but that doesn't mean we should stop planning and experiment without thinking.

We accept failure, take learnings, and wipe the slate clean so we can move on without blame
We have the right leading indicators that help shape our future experiments and direction
We design experiments to reduce barriers that are preventing people from adopting the change
We use feedback from experiments as input into how we adjust our change plans
The people affected by the change have created their own measurements that align to the objectives of the change
We visualize our change work using big visible walls to be transparent about what we're working on
