Make [space] for Innovation

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

With an ever-accelerating development in consumer expectations and the possibilities afforded by emerging tech, businesses cannot afford to stand still. Chris and Adam will open the doors to McCann Manchester’s new innovation suite and will discuss some of the ways in which they’ve made space to innovate for their clients, not just physically, but also culturally and practically, introducing prototyping tools, of which Umbraco is one!

Case studies will include:

  • ChatBot powered by Umbraco
  • Augmented Reality experience powered by Umbraco
  • How we use Umbraco to prototype and innovate
  • Application of Design Thinking and Hack sessions

 

Target audience: Creative

Level: Introductory
