Get good ideas off the ground.
We’ve adapted to deliver collaboration and innovation with partners virtually. Learn how collaboration + design thinking works in a virtual environment. Our Virtual Hackathon methodology consists of three personalized sessions.

Phase 1: Understand
We help identify the right team members and facilitate introduction to the virtual approach to create a shared knowledge base.
Phase 2: Ideate
Ideation and hackathon activities are engaging, collaborative and time-boxed to drive the same product innovation as can be achieved in-person generating a broad range of ideas.
Phase 3: Decide
We integrate the best-fit virtual collaboration tools to drive desired outcomes and finalize the direction.
Walking in our customers’ shoes.
Our virtual hackathon process encourages partners to bring creative thinking that involves an open mind and customer empathy. We begin with our strawman vision, we discuss target customers, pain points, goals, and what positive change we aim to bring about. This is our way of really walking in our customers’ shoes.
