How well is the CDWG setup to enable you personally as a contributor?

Key Takeaways from CDWG I Survey

Prepared by: @pujimak_in

​

3 Main Insight from the survey

​

• Synergy WITHIN CDWG is nettpositive - a conducive environment invites excellence!!

​

• Growth of CDWG requires constant optimisation - As a DAO; we’re at the forefront of “Future of Work”, thus we need to constantly innovate and find new process & practices in order to grow.

​

• Main blockers for CDWG aren’t internally driven - the importance of coordination, communication and educating design processes among non creative is key.
