The Analyst Institute’s work with randomized controlled experiments during electoral and advocacy programs is helping the progressive movement build a wealth of shared knowledge about best practices and cost effectiveness. But often it’s only larger campaigns and organizations who make use of these revolutionary tools. Hear findings from some of the latest experiments and find out what are the next big research questions. Discuss when you should test and when you should skip it, and learn how even the smallest campaigns and organizations can use this technology effectively.
