Netflix: Wicked Hard Decisions
Details
Hear how the Netflix team made tough decisions about the hardest things - people, product and business - as it grew to support over 100 million members. This is “inside baseball,” revealing the decision-making process behind some of Netflix’s toughest decisions and reinforcing the importance of strategy, data and intuition to inform decisions and to create a highly innovative product culture.
This highly interactive talk presents five, “What would you do?” case studies. It presents two frameworks for describing both company and product strategy and illustrates the importance of defining clear tactics and metrics against each strategy. You'll be surprised at the extent Netflix learned through failure to become the worldwide streaming giant that most people know and love today.
