Introduction
Organizations often make decisions based on assumptions rather than evidence about what truly works. Experimentation and A/B Testing for Business helps professionals understand how to test ideas systematically, compare alternatives, and make stronger decisions using controlled experiments. The course focuses on practical experimentation in business settings, helping participants build confidence in designing tests, interpreting results, and using findings to improve performance.
