It will be very hard for people to watch or
consume something that has not in some sense
been tailored for them.
Eric Schmidt, Google
14. Personalisation is an algorithm adapting something to someone,
based on some knowledge about that someone.
It may be used to optimise for a desired metric (e.g. engagement
or time spent) or to make something more relevant or attractive
to an individual.
It might or might not be a good thing!

Editor's Notes
a BBC that is utterly obsessed by its audience, focussed on what it does uniquely, and indispensable to modern Britain. Utterly impartial and alive with programming ideas. Run for the audience’s benefit. Valued and loved by all.
BBC Online is already really big…amazingly so, given who the competition are
A real British digital success story
This is important – because universality is central to the BBC. It’s in our Charter to reach and provide value to everybody
We do make that by building services that are audience-first, rather than about us and our organisation
Useful every day, personalised and relevant, effortless to discover…
We don’t have all the answers. We learn by doing. That’s the exciting bit…
