Intuit’s Global Engineering Days (GED) is a five-day event held twice a year that allows technologists, product managers, and designers to work on innovative projects outside their usual responsibilities. During this event, employees like Andrew Wasicek and Michael Kukar from Intuit’s tax content engineering team have developed AI-powered tools to aid TurboTax programmers. GED encourages a bottom-up approach, with no meetings or assigned work, allowing teams to focus on solving real customer problems. This year’s event, themed ‘creating magical done-for-you experiences,’ involved over 8,000 participants globally, including in Canada, and featured projects with a significant AI component. The initiative aligns with Intuit’s ‘Design for Delight’ philosophy, integrating customer-focused rapid experimentation into its culture.
