With new digital leadership setting a higher bar, JCPenney’s experimentation program needs to show what AI-ready looks like.
FOR JCPENNEY — FREE 1:1 SESSION — LIMITED SPOTS
New mandate,JCPenney’s AI readiness scored in 60 minutes
JCPenney’s traffic is already there — the constraint is whether your AI workflow is moving as fast as the new leadership mandate demands, across checkout conversion, search relevance, and seasonal campaigns.
50+ programs benchmarked — Free — No pitch
A plan, not a pep talk.
This isn’t a generic AI intro. In 45–60 minutes, we map JCPenney’s experimentation program across checkout conversion, search relevance, and seasonal campaign workflows — then score it against the top retail experimentation teams globally, so you walk away knowing exactly what to build next.
Your retail AI maturity score
We score JCPenney’s program across five dimensions — AI awareness, executive alignment, tool adoption, process integration, and agent deployment readiness. You see exactly where you sit versus the top retail experimentation teams globally, with a gap analysis showing what it takes to reach the next stage.
Your checkout-to-campaign mapping
We map how JCPenney’s team currently manages checkout conversion, search relevance, and seasonal campaign experiments — where time goes, where things stall, and where agents could step in. The output is specific to JCPenney’s actual retail flows, not a playbook built for a generic brand.
Your three agents, ranked by impact
Every opportunity gets scored by impact and effort — at JCPenney’s scale, the highest-value candidates are typically a checkout optimization agent, a search relevance agent, and a campaign velocity agent for peak trading periods. You leave with build specs for each: what it does, what it replaces, and the time it saves.
Your team’s build roadmap
Once we know which three to build, we sequence a plan scoped to JCPenney’s team and existing stack — so there’s no gap between this session and Monday morning. Priority access to Opal University means your team is building agents, not just planning them.
Your session host
You're in good hands
I'm Darcey Lachtman, and I'll be leading your AI fitness workshop.
I've spent a decade in experimentation—starting at Optimizely in 2016, then refining my skills at LaunchDarkly and Eppo, before returning to Optimizely as Solution Strategy Director. I'm Optimizely's expert on agentic experimentation, and I'll show you exactly where AI agents fit into your program.
Wherever you're starting, there's a seat here for you.
What I care about: Making this genuinely useful, not impressive. You should walk away knowing exactly where AI fits your program, and confident enough to start building.
Used by the biggest experimentation programs in the world.
We mapped our standard experimentation workflow, identified where Optimizely's AI agents plug into current gaps, and scoped out what we could build custom. The sky's the limit.
Brandon Brackett
Head of Growth Experimentation, Salesforce
We went through our entire experimentation process end to end, mapped where AI agents could fit in, and came out with a clear picture of what to build next.
