Wednesday Work Hack: Introduce a Hackathon Friday Every Month

Not just for tech companies anymore, hackathons have evolved into a tactic for companies like pharmaceutical giant Novartis. Competitions have centered around digital healthcare solutions for individual countries, best practices for ending Europe’s cancer crisis, and solving data-science challenges in Slovenia.  
Hackathons can focus the entire organization on a pressing issue with the goal of developing multiple solutions. By expanding the idea pool beyond the people or org that’s responsible for implementation, you’re also tapping into a deeper, more diverse set of perspectives and experiences.
