    What is the AI Hackathon?

    A facilitated 2–3 day event where cross-functional teams work on your organisation's real AI opportunities using the adaptive CX framework. Not a generic innovation day — teams work on moments already identified through a Reality Check or Opportunity Program, producing governed behaviour designs they can take forward.

    The hackathon accelerates what would otherwise take weeks of separate workstreams. By bringing product, ops, CX and engineering together in a structured, facilitated environment, teams build shared understanding and produce tangible design outputs — not slide decks.

    Works best when you already have:

    What you get from an AI Hackathon

    Tangible outputs from focused, cross-functional design work.

    Step 1

    Moment Design Drafts

    Teams produce first-pass behaviour designs for 3–5 real moments identified through earlier discovery work. Not hypothetical exercises — real opportunities your organisation has already validated.

    Step 2

    Cross-Team Alignment

    Product, ops, CX and engineering work side by side using the same framework and language. Alignment that would take months of meetings happens in days.

    Step 3

    Prioritised Action List

    A clear view of which moment designs are worth taking into a full AI Design Sprint — and which need more groundwork before they're ready.

    Step 4

    Team Capability Uplift

    Participants leave able to apply the adaptive CX framework independently. Not theory — practical experience from designing real moments under guided facilitation.

    Who it's for

    • Teams with identified opportunities ready to explore in depth
    • Organisations that need cross-functional alignment on AI direction
    • Leaders who want their teams to experience the framework hands-on
    • Teams who have completed a Reality Check or Opportunity Program and want to accelerate

    Not the right fit if…

    • Teams without identified opportunities (start with the Opportunity Program)
    • Organisations looking for a generic innovation day
    • Projects that need build-ready specifications (that's the Design Sprint)
    • Anyone hoping to skip discovery and jump straight to design
