📊 The Problem: The "Hackathon to Nowhere" Trap Traditional corporate hackathons are often one-time events where great ideas die after the competition ends. In the financial industry, building AI in silos prevents these tools from reaching the scale, maturity, and regulatory trust required for real-world adoption in production environments.
🏗️ The Solution: The FINOS Sustained Collaboration Engine
Mia Gougisha demonstrates a new model where hackathons serve as the "ideation pipeline" for the broader industry:
* Open-First Design: Every solution developed during the Innovate DTCC event is open source from day one, ensuring a foundation that extends beyond the event.
* Architecture as Code (Calm Guard): Transitioning hackathon winners into core FINOS repositories to automate compliance and reduce friction in DevSecOps.
* Multi-Agent Pipelines (Nova Mind): Automating post-trade exception handling through an auditable AI model that keeps humans in the loop only for high-ambiguity cases.
⚙️ Why This Matters for Financial Engineering
* Cross-Organizational "Super Teams": Bringing together contributors from multiple firms (e.g., Snowflake and DTCC) to unify fragmented security and risk data.
* Governance-First Innovation: Evaluating solutions based on their scalability and industry relevance ensures they meet the "safety and soundness" requirements of regulated finance.
The takeaway: Innovation does not stop at the finish line. Mia Gougisha proves that by aligning hackathons with the FINOS ecosystem, the industry can turn experimental prototypes into shared, production-grade assets.

In this episode of SAP Design Talks, Rachel Rosenson, Head of Design at Zalando, shares how she defines good design as solving meaningful problems, powered by curiosity, intention, and craft. From improving everyday experiences to refining how teams work, Rachel explains why great design is not about “cool and flashy” moments. It is about creating outcomes that genuinely help customers and earn their trust.
Rachel also unpacks what it takes to design responsibly as AI reshapes products and services. She draws a clear line between excitement and meaningful impact, and why teams need to keep returning to fundamentals: customer behavior, business impact, and whether an experience truly “moves the needle.” When designing with AI, she emphasizes safe and responsible approaches, and the importance of making new experiences intuitive, transparent, and trustworthy, so customers understand what is happening and feel confident using it.
Finally, Rachel highlights a powerful truth about the design community: most teams are still figuring it out. Sharing how we organize, collaborate, and experiment helps everyone learn faster, without the pressure of pretending we have already solved it all. If you work in design, product, or technology, this conversation is a practical reminder to stay grounded in customer value while building what is next.
