READINESS ASSESSMENT

Our societies lack meaning and purpose.

The goal of this assessment is to find out where the team is in terms of understanding Web3, onboarding the members, and getting ready to launch the DAO. This is a very casual survey and there is no wrong or right answer. It is a space of open conversation.

DAO OS CANVAS I

Our societies lack meaning and purpose.

The DAO OS Canvas is using a canvas model developed by The Ready that we have adjusted to the DAO Canvas. The purpose is to create a fully operational scaffolding for your business using a DAO.

“The canvas asks teams to consider, often for the very first time, why they work the way they do. And this may force us to confront the delta between our assumptions, our beliefs, and our reality. Why does this process or policy exist? Is what we say what we do? Have we considered this before? The canvas can provoke a conversation, and that conversation can provoke a change.” – Aaron Dignan, The Ready

DOWNLOAD CANVAS

This is the original OS Canvas developed by Aaron Dignan from the Ready - we have refined this model.
