connectin amsterdam 2014 - beter beslissen met data - booking.com & netwerven

It’s a capital mistake to theorize before one has data

Danielle van Alewijn | June 2nd , 2014

Hi, I’m Danielle

2

And this is Booking.com

3

WE TAKE SMALL STEPS

Go for one step at a time. That way, it’s easier to find your footing again if

you take a wrong turn. It’s also worth remembering that it takes many small steps to cover

a lot of ground


4

WE ARE DATA DRIVEN

You can’t get around the facts. Base decisions on hard evidence. Facts and figures are your friend.


5

WE ARE SCALABLE

As a global company, new ideas have to work globally as well as locally.

If something is adopted in Amsterdam it also has to be useful in Jeddah, Kuta, Zagreb

and everywhere in between.


6

WE DON’T RELY ON GUESSWORK

What works better, idea A of B? To move forward and innovate, we constantly

test progress. It’s the best way to find out What is the most effective

7


WE ARE INTO INDEPENDANCE

With so much expertise on hand, why look further? That means insourcing where others may outsource.

It’s the best way to guarantee quality.

And this was Booking.com recruitment…
