Launching 'Crowdsouring + Hackathon' Campaign

As part of the larger IT 2 DT program, we are striving towards spreading digitalizing

spree throughout Tech M. Leveraging IRIS (Ideate Refine Implement Succeed)– our
internal crowdsourcing ideation platform within Tech M associates to creatively identify
and visualize functional areas HR, CS, TLS which could be digitized/appified and further
use Hackathons to convert some of the ideas into reality. This will be a powerful way to
showcase our digital prowess to our customers.

IRIS is an innovative Idea generation platform that Tech Mahindra uses in order to
leverage the huge associate base against the business challenge we would put in
practice.

Come one come all …Let us leverage IRIS to generate innovative ideas against our
business challenges
 DigitAll – Digitalize Learning
(TLS TEAM)

Introduction -
Kodak did not keep pace with the rapid digitization of photography, traditional travel
agencies were eclipsed by online cab aggregators and online services like YouTube
and Netflix have redefined television viewing. You might have been hearing about
many more innovations and disruptive effects of digital technologies and automation on
traditional businesses and industries.

Training is no different and is poised to take advantage of these disruptive paradigms to

extend the reach and create more effective, engaging, multichannel and personalized
experiences for the learners and trainers.

What is this challenge about -

TLS is looking for ideas and POC applications designed for providing a next-gen
learning experience which will take maximum advantage of digital technologies and
automation. An example could be a GPS-enabled mobile application, which notifies the
associate about a training program that is either happening or scheduled at the location
he is visiting. Another example may be a platform that helps connect the associate with
other learners of a particular course and continue learning through a social learning
experience beyond the classroom or duration of the course.

Your deliverable -
You have to provide a detailed description of your idea which will enable a personalized,
effective, engaging, multichannel learning experience which will improve the outcomes
for all stakeholders, including the learners, trainers and the administrators.

Outcome of this challenge -

Winners of the ideathon challenge will see their ideas come to life with the help of
expert from TLS and Innovation teams.
