Ideas for Busting Bureaucracy (Part 2)

During Phase 3, the hackathon team developed almost 70 mini-hacks—radical, yet practical ideas for busting bureaucracy with the help of technology. Now we turn to Phase 4, where we will develop the most promising mini-hacks into fully-fledged management hacks. 

You’ll find the list of the most prominent mini-hacks below. If you’d like to work further on your mini-hack but don’t see it displayed below or you have any other questions or issues, please get in touch with us.

When developing your hack, please review this "hack cheatsheet" a short guide for how to create a great management hack.  The document contains a number of practical tips as well as links to some of our favorite hacks on the MIX.
