The Busting Bureaucracy Hackathon

Ideas for Busting Bureaucracy (Part 1)

To help guide your “hacking,” below are 8 categories describing different attributes of the post-bureaucratic organization, developed by the hackathon community during phase 2.  Please select one or more of these hacking zones and then share a specific idea relevant to your chosen category that could help our organizations bust bureaucracy. We'll be developing the best ideas from each bucket more fully in subsequent phases.  We'll be developing the best ideas from each bucket more fully in subsequent phases.
