Corporate hackathons can produce great results when done correctly. Innovation expert Leo Exter shares his experience of organizing successful hackathons for companies. He emphasizes the importance of setting a concrete objective, working under time pressure and getting user input. Kim Ngân Trân, a hackathon participant, speaks about the strong sense of purpose and motivation that hackathons create within an organization.
