Behind the scenes
Could you talk a bit about the organisational structure at Alm.Brand – Resposibilities, Roles and Relations. Where does your team fit in ?
How autonomous are your teams really? Do you have to sell ideas, concepts, and hypotheses to leaders and boards? When and how do you get buy-in?
How does the strategic goals from the dynamic roadmap correlate with each other? When you are focusing on improving user experience, are you measuring the effect on other parts of your business, like cost and revenue?
How do you measure your results? Do you have some examples besides the rating in appstore?

Do you have any advice on how someone can influence their company to start using more data-driven design?
