As a people-first organization, we love to see happy people, satisfied stakeholders, AND innovative solutions. Organizing a hackathon is a great way to achieve all 3. Hackathons can be scheduled around specific challenges or events (think the next company gathering or the quarterly retro). They are a great way to stimulate creativity and collaboration. Why? Not only can you focus on a unique company challenge, but you’re also enhancing your team’s skill sets and developing new product ideas, solutions, and more. Let us know what you think below - how have hackathons helped your team development and idea growth? & if you’re looking for a way to get started or read our case study with Waitrose on their most recent hackathon, check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g2_KUNNB #Hackathon #Leadership #Innovation

Behind-the-Scenes of a successful hackathon: We’ve seen how defining a clear problem statement can be a driving force for problem-solving, especially for hackathons. For example, one of our clients wanted to use a hackathon as a “springboard” to foster innovative ideas, solve problems, encourage better collaboration, and understand the “art of the possible.” Their problem statement was to “Explore how AI can help tailor our customer experience and improve team productivity.” This allowed teams to really focus on AI-based solutions and how they could apply them to their day-to-day lives in ways that they had never considered before. To learn more about how you can define your hackathon’s problem statement, check out our step-by-step guide here: https://lnkd.in/g2_KUNNB #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #TechTrends #Hackathon

New Case Study Available! This time, we are deep-diving into Hackathons with our amazing retail partner, Waitrose & Partners. To start, what is a hackathon & why do organizations choose to run them? A Hackathon is where people collaborate to solve a problem or identify new opportunities. The word hackathon is a combination of “hack” and “marathon.” Hackathons are a great way to foster teamwork, solve problems, and generate creative solutions or product ideas. Here are some of our findings from the recent Waitrose hackathon: - 100+ voluntary participants bringing forth 70 new product ideas for Waitrose and 7 of those ideas being prototyped and presented on during the hackathon. - Stakeholders reported being impressed at seeing “groundbreaking GenAI use cases” and “truly impressive” results. - Participants were able to build and learn new skills with their teams and about 70% rated the event as “Excellent.” Read all about Mindera's latest Hackathon with Waitrose and get the step-by-step guide to running your own in just eight weeks: https://lnkd.in/g2_KUNNB #Hackathon #EventPlanning #Innovation #TechEvents

Summer Tech Camp '24 I Leicester 🇬🇧 This week, the Mindera - UK Foundation team wrapped up a 3-day Summer Tech Camp, where students from local secondary schools and sixth form colleges dived into a packed agenda of Cybersecurity, AI, Front-End Development, Web App Development and so much more! As part of the camp, we also headed to the Leicester Print Workshop for a talk on traditional print media and the impact of digital design tools and modern technology on the industry, as well as a trip to the Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre for a tour of their digital art and gaming exhibition, followed by a well-deserved lunch! 🥪 Feedback from students has so far been overwhelmingly positive and I honestly couldn't be prouder of how the camp has gone, as well as the impact its had for those attending! Thank you to all my incredibly talented Mindera colleagues who gave their time to share their support, knowledge and expertise with the students attending: Leo, Darshak, Dan, Tabitha, Avinash, Stefano, Amy, Paul, Jack, Gemma, Gabriela ❤️ #TechCamp #MinderaUKFoundation

Mindera joined the #AngelCityEquitySummit this year during the #2024Olympics. Their annual Equity Summit is all about advancing gender equity and celebrating women in sports. As a global tech organization that believes in creating spaces for true expression, transparency, and inclusivity, we continue to be proud partners of Angel City Football Club. A HUGE congratulations on the recent launch of their Angel City Impact Fund- we are excited to see how your new nonprofit will continue to build and strengthen the local communities 👏
Today we hosted the #AngelCityEquitySummit! The summit is an annual event dedicated to advancing gender equity and celebrating the power of women in sports. This year, we gathered in Paris with global leaders, Olympians, and industry experts to explore groundbreaking topics, share inspiring stories, and to drive change and action. Here’s a quick recap: 1️⃣ Setting Intentions & Building Connections: We kicked off with a powerful session focused on creating meaningful connections and setting clear intentions for the day. 2️⃣ Trailblazing Together: Our panel, moderated by NBC LA’s Lolita Lopez, explored the journey of founding Angel City FC with co-founders Julie Uhrman, Natalie Portman, and Kara Nortman, and ACFC captain Ali Riley. ACFC Head of Marketing and Community, Catherine Dávila, and ACFC VP of Community Impact, Chris Fajardo, unveiled the Angel City Impact Fund—Angel City’s new nonprofit venture aimed at expanding no-cost soccer access and leadership opportunities for youth in LA. 3️⃣ Diverse Panels & Partners: We hosted dynamic discussions with our partners, including The Grand World, BMO U.S., HubSpot, NYX Professional Makeup, Meta, and Gatorade. Topics ranged from gender-equitable Olympics to empowering female leaders, and advancing women’s sports marketing. Each session offered valuable insights and actionable strategies. 4️⃣ Malala & Khalida: A special session with Malala Yousafzai and Khalida Popal featuring an inspiring Q&A on education, privilege, and empowerment. 5️⃣ Conversation Circles: Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations about leadership styles, iACT and Angel City’s community-led impact, keeping girls in sports, and exploring geo-specific challenges in women’s sports across the globe. 6️⃣ Closing: We concluded with reflections from Julie Uhrman and a group photo, celebrating a day of impactful dialogue and shared vision.
