One of the great pleasures of working at Optimizely is getting to see so many people having so much fun in their work (not just on our team, but with our customers too).
Work and fun are not often caught hanging out together, so to speak. But the world of A/B testing on Optimizely lends itself well to moments of great joy and celebration in the workplace.
Each day, I am delighted to hear from colleagues, customers, testers, and the online marketing world at large how excited they are to discover a better way to connect with their site visitors through testing (or re-appreciate an old one that has yet to be bested).
By far though, one of the most awesome results I see day in and day out is the knowledge sharing and learning that comes with testing. There are many ways to share the insights you glean from any particular test with the people around you – whether testers are celebrating their learnings with a strategically placed foghorn and siren in the office, a wall of fame for anyone who proposes a winning test idea, an internal social network, or any other variety of ways our customers share with their teams – the power of sharing the stories of meaningful experiments should never be underestimated.
After all, the more fun your team has making your workplace succeed, the better it is all the way around.
There are plentiful ways to make your knowledge sharing happen.
In the spirit of sharing with you, I have fused a great activity from my past – the Mad Lib – with the notion of sharing your testing learnings, and crafted below a sample Mad Lib email as one way to have some fun while you share some learning.
