BeachBootCamp 2022

Ready for take-off

These words marked the start of the first BeachBootCamp in the history of isolutions. 

The dream of the entire isolutions team to fly to Barcelona became reality. The whole crew of around 200 employees met in Barcelona in June 2022. Discussing and working together in the new office, going to the beach, or partying together. This year was the year.

At the top of the list was the development of innovative ideas for the future of isolutions and our customers and, of course, getting to know each other better.

Future challenges in consulting

Chris Friedemann Dickhaus, Managing Partner at digitalpurpose, showed us in his presentation how a company can move from operational excellence over digital products & services up to digital business model change. The most important insight was that it is essential to understand the challenges and the possible future of the company.

From digitalisation to efficient organ donation

Franz Immer, Medical Director and CEO of Swisstransplant, took the team on an emotional and moving journey. He talked about how isolutions has successfully and sustainably changed the process of organ donation, from pre-screening to organ harvesting, transport and transplantation. Through a real-life story of a young girl, we realised the contribution we could make to save Swisstransplant valuable time in processing organ donations in the future. It was an insight that touched the whole crew and made them proud.

A matter of perspective

The talk by Daniel Arber, CEO and founder of Daniel Arber Consulting, was all about customer obsession. What does it take today to live and cultivate true customer obsession? The most important insight is that it all starts with the mindset. The starting point of any reflection must be what the customer needs to be successful and what challenges are keeping them awake at night. What can we do to get our customers excited about the future of their business?

Business Hackathon

isolutions Business Hackathon

On Friday afternoon the time had finally come and David Schneider, our General Manager from Barcelona, opened the first isolutions Business Hackathon with the entire crew in attendance. In the weeks leading up to the BeachBootCamp, various customers were contacted to find out what challenges they were currently facing. The aim of the Business Hackathon was to work in interdisciplinary teams for four hours to develop innovative solutions to existing business challenges. The focus was not on the technology, but on getting to know the customer and understanding their business and the challenges they face.

The various teams were divided into all roles and departments. They spent four hours discussing, sketching and developing the first prototypes. It was exciting to see how the team members, some of whom did not know each other, inspired and motivated each other in such a short time. The resulting solutions were then presented to the judges in an elevator pitch in the semi-final. As the grand finale approached, the tension mounted. The best teams from each challenge presented their solution in plenary and the whole crew could vote for the best pitch via an app. It was a day full of inspiration, innovation and for us, another step towards actively shaping the future of our customers. #weshapethefuture

Beach party

Great party all together

We saved the fireworks for the end. After an exciting and lively hackathon, several buses were waiting to take the entire company to the party location on the beach in Barcelona. In true isolutions style, the end of such an event was duly celebrated. People celebrated, danced and laughed until late into the night.

Inspired by the various sessions and keynote speeches, motivated by the exchange with colleagues and a little wistful when thinking about the memories, we returned to our offices.
