Foster real change that involves the individual and evolves the organization.
DESCRIPTION
Nowadays, to be consistently innovative, you have to generate creative ideas and test prototypes at a pace higher than the pace at which external factors of your industry are changing. There are quite a few mechanisms that foster disruptive ideas, and one of the most interesting is the community hackathon. A hackathon is a highly intensive competition with multiple benefits, both for the organizer, as well as for the participants and the broader ecosystem. Such a competition is not only good for creating novel products or services, but also for bringing the organization in touch with the innovation and technology ecosystems -and thus reaping multiple benefits.
HOW WE DO IT
A hackathon is a short, 2 to 3-day event, with an intensive preparation period. Having an extensive experience in organizing hackathons and engaging with startups, we design the competition end-to-end, and manage its implementation and outreach. We facilitate the program while aligning everyone to the business objectives specified. By the end of the hackathon competition, the organizing company will have identified solutions that can be prototyped and potentially turned into new products, while creating a vibrant innovation ecosystem that combines internal and external talent.
