Manifesto

 

 

HackMyBusiness Manifesto

We are guided by some simple yet powerful principles, which we think help to deliver quicker, better, more cost-effective results.

 

We believe in ...

... sharing, collaboration and community: sharing ideas, knowledge, skills and resources usually leads to a better outcome

 

... encouraging curiosity, questioning assumptions, challenging "givens", imagining a different future

 

... the most creative solutions to tricky problems start with getting the right people into the room / conversation

 

... experimenting, prototyping, trying things out; then learning, adapting and improving

 

... working in real-time on real challenges to co-create practical solutions
