HR HACKATHON November 2018 - Powered by DisruptHR Chicago

Overview

DisruptHR Chicago is an information exchange designed to energize, inform and empower executives, business leaders, and professionals in the vast and important fields of Human Resources. We are about blowing up the norms to which we've fallen prey, innovating, and creating a more meaningful, rewarding, and engaging experience from this thing called work.

The Event

HR Hackathon - Powered by DisruptHR Chicago is our newest event format that we conceived based on feedback from our awesome community. The idea is to provide a forum for HR innovators to collaborate with a smaller number of peers by tackling a specific HR challenge in a design-thinking inspired “DisruptHR-style” way. Check out this DisruptHR Chicago video for a glimpse of how this all came together for our first challenge winner, Allie Temkin of Common Threads.

And this is how it works: We asked the DisruptHR Chicago community to submit a challenge they want to have “hacked” by their peers. We then selected the winning submission based on a few simple criteria. And the lucky winner for this hackathon is… Foram Sheth. This is the challenge she submitted: "How Might We... re-imagine support for first time managers as they make the transition from individual contributors to people leaders?”

At the event, we will gain more insight on the topic from Foram and a panel of former DisruptHR Chicago speakers. We will then roll up our sleeves and start ideating solutions. And, yes, we will have fun while we do this!

The ticket price includes breakfast, incredible content, and awesome networking opportunities interspersed throughout the event.
