HACK DAY / HACKATHON BENEFITS
HackDays.com.au can facilitate hosted, on-site Hack Day innovation events designed specifically for your organisation. We work with our clients to build in the right components and themes to deliver high impact, high value experiences.
STAFF ENGAGEMENT
One of the key benefits of running internal Hack Day events is the positive impact on staff engagement. We genuinely believe that Hack days can improve staff satisfaction levels and inevitably contribute to higher staff retention rate.
HACK DAY THEMES
Hack Day events can be themed to focus on creating specific new products, introducing new capabilities or processes, or adopting new technical solutions within the business to achieve your specific goals.
COLLABORATION
Hack Day events provide a real world scenario where you can bring different areas (and roles) of the business together to work collaboratively on something that they have a passion for and will benefit your organisation.
INNOVATION
Giving teams and people the time to stop and think, be creative, and to do things outside of the box (more often) will embed a culture and framework of internal innovation within a business.
PROJECT DELIVERY
Hack Day events can be used as a method to kickstart an organisations specific project work (from inception to prototype delivery) as a way of increased throughput and delivery dedication.
SENSE OF FUN
A Hack Days event facilitated in the right way, can create a sense of fun, energy and excitement within an organisation. Team members working in a relaxed, fun environment tend to create and deliver brilliant things.
IN PRODUCTION
A key benefit of running internal Hack Day events within your organisation, is the idea/invention “in production” factor. The psychological boost of knowing that your team’s idea or working prototype made it to market, can be immense.
NEW DIRECTIONS
Internal Hack Day events can provide your staff an avenue to explore new ideas, not traditionally aligned with your organisational direction. This can often open up new and exciting opportunities for innovation.
HACK DAY OPTIONS
HackDays.com.au have been involved in many Hackathon events over recent years, and the benefits of running such events within an organisation are overwhelmingly clear. For any decision maker that might be looking at these events through a lens of uncertainty, you can rest assured that they are well worth the effort.
