Data-Driven Growth: In summary
➔ Access → Models → Goals → Process → Rules
➔ Rules are objective, codified & independent
➔ Think pricing, sales compensation & experiment data
➔ Growth teams work on rules (vs. flywheels & hacks)
➔ Content rules like landing pages
◆ Design
◆ Development
◆ Content modelling
➔ Customer data rules like sales automation
◆ Segments (complex)
◆ Templates (complex)
◆ Workflows (simple)
