Panel Discussion:
Managing Uncertainty as the Key to Successful Innovation

Lotteries operate in an unforgiving business and political climate, the stakes are high, and the rate of change is increasing while visibility into the future is decreasing. How do we know when to move from the research and study mode to launch mode? Are there ways for an action-plan to include the flexibility to adjust course on the basis of new information gleaned from the real-world consumer response? How can this new science of managing uncertainty be applied to the business of designing and launching new lottery games, promotional campaigns, and innovation in general—and building a solid and sustainable growth plan?
