HARD HACK

What is a hard hack? Broadly speaking, hard hacks alter „nonliving systems.“ For instance, using instant

messaging in a meeting to communicate work-related insights while a particulary boring speaker drones on

is a hard hack. A couple of months ago I organized the first hard hack meetup. Employees met once a week

at a private meetup called Campfire where they could tinker and experiment with or „hack“ their own

projects. As it was a private even we cut the discussion short if the topic drifted toward the company´s

interest or profile.

Too often there are still »rules« within a company that tend to slow down progress. So, how can we »hack« this?
