What this book covers
Stefan Thomke connects good experiment design with the organisational conditions needed to use the findings. That is useful when an agency can launch tests but struggles to get decisions made from them. Read it to examine ownership, working routines and the treatment of unsuccessful ideas, alongside the technical design of each experiment.
