Hook's story: What we learned by transforming our own culture with AI
At Hook, we’ve spent years helping customers harness AI to work smarter - but when we looked inward, we realised we weren’t yet applying that same ambition to ourselves. So we made a deliberate choice to transform our own culture first: to challenge old habits, rethink how we work, and empower every team to use AI to become radically more effective. This is the story of that shift. How initiatives like our company-wide hackathon and the creation of new internal tools showed what’s possible when AI becomes a mindset, not a side project - and how that internal transformation is already making us better, faster partners to our customers.
