Hack the MIX Hackathon

Help us help you re-invent management
for the 21st century

This phase of the hackathon ended on Feb 24. All ideas submitted during Sprint 1 have been moved to Sprint 2.

It’s time to upgrade the MIX to version “2.0." We want to make the platform even more compelling, useful, and relevant for an ever-growing group management practitioners around the world. So we’ve decided to subject the MIX to one of our homegrown techniques—the management hackathon. Call it “Hack the MIX.” Starting today, we are enlisting a core group of MIXers who have made important contributions to the community in a short hackathon to help take the MIX to the next level. Please share your ideas—or build on those submitted by others. Your input is vital (and we'll be sure to recognize and celebrate the most significant contributions). Thank you!

How to Start Hacking

Task 1: Share your ideas for improving the MIX

If you do not remember your MIX login info or have any access issues, contact bruce@managementlab.org for assistance.
