Collective Decision Making
Governance Stages & Working Groups
Working Groups
“A working group is an arrangement of people from different functions, working together to achieve specific goals”
“The groups are domain-specific and focus on discussion or activity around a specific subject area”
“A working group is a formally defined but non-permanent group of people focused on delivering a cross-functional outcome”

HOW?!
Delphi Method
Commonly used tool in public policy decision-making and some forms of qualitative research.
Commonly used tool in public policy decision-making and some forms of qualitative research.
Is a structured process guided by facilitators that involves several rounds of questionnaires or surveys, with each round building on the results of the previous round. It is expected that all opinions will eventually converge around a general consensus.

A particularity is that insights are gathered from an anonymised panel of experts

All this makes this method well suited for distributed and web3 decentralized contexts.

Community Facilitators & Agency
AGENCY is the force behind social action
Agency as “the concept of bridging the existing human and social capital of a community, through self empowerment and awareness of the possession of the capacities to manage change”.
Community Facilitators & Agency
Agency raises when the ‘facilitator’ and the rest of the working group collabs are self-aware of their roles in terms of representing the interests of the community.

Coaching, accompaining and training community facilitators generates a chain reaction that enhances communication, conflict resolution, and consensus-building skills.

That chain reaction leads to a more decentralized and efficient environment.
