Solving Business Problems by Hacking People Problems with Nicole Dessain

All of us in learning, talent and HR functions are being faced with what can often feel like impossible challenges as a result of the coronavirus. We haven’t even had time to fully establish a steady state for the current situation and are already being challenged with predicting the ‘new normal’ and how we’ll manage that. Trying to solve for these monumental challenges in an environment where it’s easy to feel isolated from the very people we need to solve them only adds insult to injury. So, how do we rapidly solve for these complex problems in a world where we’re all physically and mentally displaced from our normal mode of operation? Enter in the virtual hackathon where you’ll combine #agile, #designthinking, #hackatons, and #digital #technology. In this episode Nicole Dessain from Talent Imperative and I are going to dig into exactly what Virtual Hackathon is, what it takes to pull off, and why it’s an solution we should all be exploring.
