Teams of developers, administrators, and IT professionals at Flexisource IT participated in the first-ever Flexisource IT Hackathon 2019 with Australian innovator and thought leader Myles Tehan last Nov. 27-28.
“Innovation is important in two different lenses: one is internal where it might be improving what you already do, or external, where it might be helping your clients improve what they do,” said Innovations expert Myles Tehan.
Myles Tehan is the co-founder and managing director of Hackdays Australia, where he has worked with more than 50 international organisations to design and facilitate tailored innovation events and workshops that make a real impact.
He will be heading innovation programs of Flexisource IT as part of the companies’ strategic partnership, and he will help to keep its employees up-to-date with the latest tools and innovations in technology. With his expertise in cultivating innovative ideas, Myles is an asset that will help in taking the talents of Flexisource IT further.
Employees have undergone a design thinking seminar, along with a lean canvas workshop in the event. Myles started the discussion with activities to engage the participants in what it takes to create innovation.
