Programme
A 3-day Hackathon to engage & train collaborators on our innovation methodology (the 4Ds) by solving their internal challenges.
Highlights
Collaborators had expressed a desire to be trained in innovation methodologies & collective intelligence processes.
The programme’s goal was to transfer our knowledge and empower them to become actors in the future of their company.
In teams, they solved the challenge: How might we build the Davidson of the future while preserving Davidson’s values & resources?
Solutions that emerged became internal projects carried out by collaborators armed with innovation tools.
