Why hosting your own hackathon is beneficial?

A handful of these ideas, Waitrose was able to immediately put into quick discovery to understand what a potential development and rollout process can be.
- Happier People: If you are looking for a team building exercise or a way to get different teams together, this is the event for you. This hackathon attracted 100+ participants, with about 70% rating the event as "Excellent." Employees reported feeling more energised and motivated during and after their recent hackathon experience.
- Satisfied Stakeholders: Stakeholders within the Waitrose team noted to being impressed with the solutions put forward by their teams with some ideas standing out as "groundbreaking GenAI use cases."
