The best data insights become useless if no-one trusts them

by Sam Thomas | Nov 23, 2017 | Culture, ESN Data Insights | 0 comments

A big reason @zynga produced so many strong games founders & execs is bc game teams were trained to act like startups

1. New teams had to raise money VC style
2. Monthly board meetings for accountability
3. Outsized rewards for success

Here's what each tactic taught our teams👇
