We worked with Delen Private Bank to set up a hackathon event. Their goal was to uncover exciting IT talent while generating fresh new ideas, so their hackathon took the form of a competition. Watch the video below to find out more, and reach out to us to hear about the forms your hackathon might take.
Hackathon
Hackathons are high-energy events that typically run for 2 days and involve 50+ people from a variety of departments. Participants tackle a big corporate challenge or market insight in teams.
You’ll validate ideas and existing insights generated through previous work or market research.
Design sprint
Design sprints are smaller and more concentrated than hackathons, involving a team of up to 15 people. Participants actively work on a project within their business or job function over a period of 3-5 days.
More time is invested in problem finding and empathy building, which enables your team to develop unique insights during the session.
