01 – Problem
The market is changing: From chatbots to agents
If your team only ever uses ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as chatbots, it's time for something to change. The age of agents is here – and that calls for a hackathon.
02 – Problem
Why traditional training fails.
Consuming knowledge isn't enough anymore – what matters is who actually applies AI in their day-to-day work.
Traditional training and classroom lectures add little value in the age of AI. If anything, the opposite is true: Ten people who can actually build a working prototype under pressure beat a hundred who only sat through a lecture. PowerPoint trainings create knowledge on paper. A Corporathon lets teams build real work output with the same tools.
Passive
Listening instead of applying
Lectures and webinars often fizzle out because participants never get hands-on. Knowledge that is not applied is lost quickly.
62 → 34 %
Transfer fades
In a study on transfer of training, 62 percent of respondents said they applied what they learned right after the training, 44 percent after six months and 34 percent after one year.

Output
Little to show for it
Classic trainings often end with slides and an attendance list. A Corporathon ends with prototypes, tools and workflows the team built itself.
