As a UX Strategy Analyst some of my objectives are to develop groups, solicit customer feedback, and find new ways to find solutions.

One way of doing this is by participating and hosting Hackathons where we are able to present challenges, problems or ideas and where participants can build off of one another’s ideas, create a product of their collective intelligence that is better than what each of them could have come up with on their own.

Leading a small team of Transamerica employees from Innovation, Architecture and Customer office we came up with 3 challenges to present to HackDFW 2017 Hackathon participants.

Participating in this Hackathon resulted in 7 teams accepting our challenges and creating 7 prototypes to present to our CMO and we also identified and hired new talent for our organization.
