| Cross-functional collaboration |
A wide variety of participants ensures that different and “out of the box” ideas emerge. (Tucci et al., 2018Tucci, C., Maklin, D., Golob, M., & Flores, M. (2019, junho). Speeding Up Innovation with Business Hackathons: Insights into three Case Studies. Academy for Design Innovation Management Conference, Londres, Reino Unido.). The participation of people with different academic backgrounds is a key success factor in organizing a hackathon (Cobham et al., 2017Covic, Z., & Manojlovic, H. (2019, setembro). Developing Key Competencies through Hackathon Based Learning. International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics, Subotica, Sérvia, 17.b) |
| Leadership strategy and commitment |
The event needs to be aligned with the organization’s vision. Leadership must support the event, communicate with potential participants, and ensure that the results have potential. (Tucci et al., 2018Tucci, C., Maklin, D., Golob, M., & Flores, M. (2019, junho). Speeding Up Innovation with Business Hackathons: Insights into three Case Studies. Academy for Design Innovation Management Conference, Londres, Reino Unido.). During hackathon hours, there must be multiple leaders and coordinators who can provide support. (Cobham et al., 2017Cobham, D., Gowen, C., Hargrave, B., Jacques, K., Laurel, J., & Ringham, S. (2017, July). From hackathon to student enterprise: an evaluation of creating successful and sustainable student entrepreneurial activity initiated by a university hackathon. International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies, Barcelona, Espanha, 9.a). Clear goals are essential to keep participants focused, which is critical for them to feel satisfied with their results (Filippova, Trainer & Herbsleb, 2017Filippova, A., Trainer, E., & Herbsleb, J. D. (2017, maio). From diversity by numbers to diversity as process: supporting inclusiveness in software development teams with brainstorming. International Conference on Software Engineering, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 39.) |
| Defined innovation process |
Having a defined innovation process is essential. Design Thinking and Scrum are commonly used in hackathons (Tucci et al., 2018Tucci, C., Maklin, D., Golob, M., & Flores, M. (2019, junho).

| Internal and external partnerships |
An important part of organizing co-creation events, these partnerships range from the venue provider, photographers, facilitators, and experts, to the judges. (Tucci et al., 2018Tucci, C., Maklin, D., Golob, M., & Flores, M. (2019, junho). Speeding Up Innovation with Business Hackathons: Insights into three Case Studies. Academy for Design Innovation Management Conference, Londres, Reino Unido.). The venue for the event and other resources must be of high quality to promote a business-like environment (Cobham, 2017Cobham, D., Gowen, C., Hargrave, B., Jacques, K., Laurel, J., & Ringham, S. (2017, July). From hackathon to student enterprise: an evaluation of creating successful and sustainable student entrepreneurial activity initiated by a university hackathon.
