Case Study: 300 Leaders Solve Societal Challenges During Hackathon
“This hackathon represents an innovative vision for how leaders in the Swedish public sector can come together to solve challenges. We are extremely proud of the outcome of this event and see it as an opportunity to truly demonstrate the value that can be created by thinking together with the Vocean platform as support.”, says CEO of Vocean, Daniel Kassell.
Objective:
Bringing together 300 leaders on the Vocean platform during the event “Offentlig Chef 2024” was an ambitious challenge. The goal was to create a focused environment where leaders could share insights and collaborate to solve some of Sweden’s complex challenges. By using the Vocean platform, the process was streamlined to maximize the result within a short time frame. The challenge was to generate solutions for innovation and improvement in the public sector in 50 minutes with the question “How do we build the right conditions for co-creative leadership?”.
About Hexanova Media Group AB and Nacka municipality:
Hexanova Media Group AB: As organizers of the event, Hexanova Media Group AB specializes in creating and operating innovative and effective meeting places to promote collaboration and problem solving in various sectors.

Solution:
The hackathon was made possible during Offentlig Chef 2024 through the Vocean platform. Participants used Vocean to quickly generate and share ideas in four pre-determined categories of challenges. For each category, the participants spent a few minutes generating specific challenges and thereafter spent a few more minutes liking each other’s submissions in the platform. Vocean’s AI could thereafter highlight the four most prominent challenges, based on the engagement of the participants. They then spent time generating solutions to these challenges, which were finally prioritized by the participants in terms of the possible positive impact.
In just a few minutes, Vocean’s generative AI, Copilot, was able to perform analysis based on the 3300 interactions collected in the platform and create four comprehensive reports. This enabled immediate in-depth insights and concrete conclusions for participants. Furthermore, the reports have now been delivered to the Swedish government. Hexanova Media Group AB and Nacka Municipality played crucial roles in organizing and ensuring the success of the event by promoting efficiency and focus.
Benefits:
- Rapid analysis and report generation: Vocean’s AI enabled immediate compilation and analysis of 3300 interactions in just minutes.
- Concrete conclusions and trends: The reports offered in-depth insights including results, analysis, trends and patterns for each category.
- Participation and engagement: 300 participants contributed with their insights and took home individual AI-generated reports, promoting continued engagement and discussion.
In summary:
Vocean enabled a hackathon where 300 top leaders in the Swedish public sector generated 3300 interactions in just 50 minutes. Vocean Copilot then created four comprehensive AI reports for the participants to take home and for the Swedish government to receive.
