Moncler to host first 'hackathon'


Moncler to host first 'hackathon'

Moncler CEO Remo Ruffini has taken a brilliant new idea in regards to
employee innovation: a hackathon. 450 Moncler employees from around
the world will gather in Milan tomorrow with the goal of multiple minds
coming together to generate new ideas.

The 24 hour hackathon will take place in Lombard, Italy, and will see
Moncler employees test their talents in nine strategic areas ranging from
IT to supply chain and sustainability. At the end of the hackathon all
projects will be judged based on desirability and business impact.

In July of last year, the United Nations began working on a plan to the
fashion industry to move forward on sustainability. Since them, companies
have been responding by doing things like sourcing organic cotton, using
upcycled materials, and using less chemicals in production. As the world
continues to change, Moncler is hoping this will lead to new ideas for the
company to use based on innovation, digital culture and cross-collaboration
to lead to sustainable and practical business practices.

Collaboration has become a key component of Moncler’s business especially
their Genius series collaborations, which has brought about luxury
collections designed with brands including Palm Angels, Pierpaolo Piccioli,
and Simon Rocha. As the company works to figure out their next phase for
the future, their employees are being looked at as their key to success.
