The Implementation Velocity Paradox: A Day's Work, A Quarter's Impact 🎓 Last week at Vienna Institute for Global Studies (VIGS), I led Merkit Consulting's team in a radical experiment challenging fundamental assumptions about AI implementation timelines. Working alongside Zoltán Csiba - Vox Sapiens, Till Aufderheide - VisualMakers, Péter Kovács and Adrian Pica, we compressed what traditionally requires months into a single day of focused creation. The result? Three functional prototypes addressing critical organizational bottlenecks in HR, sales conversion, and customer support—all operational by day's end. This experience reveals a profound truth about technological transformation: the constraints we accept are largely constructs of methodology rather than technical limitations. By integrating RPA+AI+WEBAPP architectures through a systems-oriented approach, we demonstrated that implementation velocity can be fundamentally reconceptualized. The strategic implications are significant. In markets where adaptive capacity determines competitive positioning, the ability to rapidly materialize technological solutions becomes a core organizational competency that transcends conventional development paradigms. What other perceived organizational constraints might be merely methodological artifacts waiting to be dismantled? #AcceleratedTransformation #ImplementationParadigms

Last week, the Vienna Institute for Global Studies (VIGS) hosted a one-day 𝐍𝐨-𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 focused on 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 using accessible tools 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.   Held at weXelerate, the event brought together 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬, and 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 with diverse backgrounds but a shared goal: to see how far an idea can go in just a few hours. Working in teams, participants turned ideas into working MVPs with the help of no-code platforms and expert mentorship.   As 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐃𝐫. Zoltan Acs, Director of the VIGS Institute, noted: "𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚��𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭. Events like this show how 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨-𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 can 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 to experiment, build, and solve real problems."   We thank 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 for their invaluable support throughout the day: Adrian Pica, Till Aufderheide (VisualMakers), Zoltán Csiba (Vox Sapiens), and 𝐃𝐫.
