Do you want to experience a taste of the action at the Volvo Ocean Race? Now, you have the chance to help the Volvo IT crew solve IT-related challenges.
From October 2011-July 2012, Volvo IT will host a global innovation challenges on Facebook related to our mission as the official IT supplier to the Volvo Ocean Race.
How it will work
The Volvo IT crew will issue IT-related challenges at each of the cities where the race stops. Each challenge will be connected to what is happening in real-time at the race. A designated response time will be given for each challenge.
Winners will be selected based on the number of “likes” and the feasibility of implementing the idea at the race. The ambition is that the winning idea for each challenge will be implemented directly into our delivery at the race within hours or days of the jam’s conclusion. You can follow each of the challenges on Facebook.
What's in it for me?
Besides the experience of actually participating in the heat of the Race, contributing to a real time challenge and having fun with co passionate IT professionals? You can also win some nice Volvo Ocean Race merchandise!
