Key Learnings
Details
Within Philips, our internal hackathons are called Creative Playgrounds. We define a challenge based on the needs of our businesses and invite the internal Research and Design community to submit ideas. With an internal community of 1500 scientists from various disciplines, business consultants and our top class design community this delivers disruptive innovation and change in our organization. During the event, quick assessments done by external professionals, end users and business analysts challenges the participating teams to pivot concepts and allow insights very early in the innovation process. The teams deliver a value proposition, a prototype and a use case in their final pitch. During the talk we can elaborate on the process and our findings relevant to UX development.
