Our very own Abe Kim will be participating in Sprint Week (10/10 - 10/15) at the Dimension Mill in Bloomington, IN. Sprint Week is a fun innovation exercise in which teams try to solve big real-world problems in just five days (think hackathon).
Abe will be bringing his developer and design-thinking chops to the table, joining one of several teams that will work on building a solution to the challenge revealed to them only on kick-off day. And after a week of collaboration, teams will present their solutions to a panel of experts and audience members for prizes.
This Sprint Week’s theme is cybersecurity, one that we think is particularly relevant in today’s world. Sponsored by MetroStar, a digital services and management consulting company, the event will host subject-matter experts on-site and online to provide guidance to participants throughout the week. We’re rooting for Abe and eager to see what his team comes up with!
Sprint Week is a great example of how teams can make progress quickly when the problem is clearly framed and everyone is aligned on the goal. It’s a mix of creativity and disciplined execution: rapid prototyping, testing ideas, and presenting results in a short window.
Cybersecurity is also an area where strong fundamentals matter: understanding threats, reducing risk, and building systems that are resilient by design. If your organization needs help assessing risk or improving security posture, check out our cybersecurity services or reach out.
