Inspirathon is back
From being out of the main spot light in the past months, one of the most popular product created by weinvolve is back. Indeed, following a strong demand from past participants, the Inspirathon interactive sprint will bring more experiences and impact than before.
Designed in the mist of the disruptive Covid, for Corporate Warriors, busy Change Makers & Leaders like you, Inspirathon has helped hundreds through change. The approach will give you a fresh perspective where to spend your energy, what really makes a difference and accelerating innovation with ease and fun.
Rooted in human neuroscience and behaviours, the first intent is to be used in professional life. However, the parallel benefits are far beyond work. It helps elevate personal relationship and life integration as a whole.
Following the momentum of the last month, Inspirathon will now integrate all new techniques to cope with your constantly evolving environment and focus on creating the right mindset and culture to improve your ability to respond to new situation as they arise.
Wait, how Inspirathon was born?
You may be familiar with the idea of a Hackathon. That’s usually a one-day or two-day event where people come together in design sprints or creation workshops to build something.
They started in the coding industry, and spread to IT in general, and are now becoming more and more common in business incubators.
They’re about bringing multi-disciplinary teams and people from all different backgrounds together to create products with synergy, rather than doing the work in silos. They’re design sprints in a mass environment.
But Hackathons focus on the process of building a product or service, and the end result doesn’t necessarily match what the market wants. They skip a very important step. Even building a product or service the Agile way takes power, time and energy, and without the right foundation, that could be wasted energy.
The Inspirathon is that STEP.
It’s the process of building the prototypes that precede the product or service. You begin by being inspired, then follow the Design Thinking process through building and creating a prototype product or service solution.
At Inspirathon, you will learn the design thinking process and how you can spark your creativity for innovation, co-creation and collaboration.
This isn’t another event where you will go and sit and listen to people talking. You will be in the room, working with each other, getting hands-on experience. It’s not a case-study. You will be doing this yourself, which will give you the skills and toolset to use design thinking in your own business.

Past Inspirathon by weinvolve
2020 and the 2-day workshops series
When weinvolve was just a baby, as soon as the covid lockout was lifted, we organised a series of 2-day events in Zurich.
We equipped ourselves and found the right place, created our team and learn how to manage the constantly changing rules to run face-to-face events.
We ran 2 workshops hosting about 80 participants that explored the innovation process and agile ways of designing a specific product or service.
They receive a huge success and created impacts in many businesses and lives. Indeed, those events works below superficial changes and are contagious on your environment long time after the event ended.

2021-2022 Online Inspirathon series
Although we had the ambition to continue in-person events, moving in the Human-Valley 1.0, the Covid had different plans and kept the rules tight to big meetings. Therefore, we had to re-invent the whole concept to an online sprint packaged in a 6-day x 2 hours.
That was not done without amazing change and collaboration. We had to find the right platform, and tool set, train the whole participants to use.
At the edge of innovation, we also hosted a pitch contest, where start-up and small businesses or simply explorers could present their concept or ideas. A professional panel of judges reviewed the ideas and the best teams were rewarded.
Thanks to our focused team, we had mind blowing experiences. The inventiveness of the participants and the concepts that were presented were incredible.

2021 Offline Inspirathon
With the online world starting to weight on people’s shoulders, we decided to go back to offline events. We hosted an updated version of Inspirathon in our Human Valley 1.0. More intimate, we could dive even deeper and create more impact.
2024 new offer: 1-day Design Sprint
We are now opening an even more refined process. We’re adding new experiences that made it in a one day Design Sprint. In the meantime we changed the setting to our beautiful and central located Human Valley 2.0 for public or private events.
Public Inspirathon: In-person in Wettingen (limited to 20 participants)
To join that epic journey, nothing more simple, just register to one future event at this link: https://page.weinvolve.ch/Inspirathon_1D
We’ll run those events monthly.
Private Inspirathon – In-house or Offsite
