Restructuring departments

Each department should be able to operate independently, work towards a common goal, yet always have the opportunity to be excluded.

What’s currently happening at Deep Work?

• Operations

  • This week we’ll restructure internal Notion, the documentation and Discord to represent the new departments.

  • If you are interested in exploring new ideas for Deep Work in a safe environment, you can now do it in the R&D department. Reach out to Andrej or post in #only-ideas if you have ideas.

  • Finance processes had a big update. You can read here how we are using the Deep Finance app (formerly called Deep Skills web3) to pay teams.

• DAO Consultancy

  • We successfully finished our DAO incubator with three teams from the Celo ecosystem. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot and will continue evolving the process. If you’re interested in getting involved in the design of the next iteration of the incubator, please post in #dao-incubator or reach out to Jesse.

• Deep Work Studio

  • The “Design Department“ and “Consultancy” have merged into the studio which is now a separate entity.

  • The outreach team is doing a fantastic job at finding and forwarding teams to the consultancy calls, who are interested in advice on product design strategy and hiring.

  • Our new website is almost finished, you can see how it currently looks here.

• Deep Finance

  • The app will focus on decentralized payroll management and reputation tracking. Currently finishing a sprint including stakeholders and invoice generation.

• Deep Skills

  • Starting to focus on researching the market and understanding customer needs - creative agencies and small teams with rare skills. Let us know in #market-research if you would like to be involved.

• Awareness

  • We finished an article about increasing personal safety with zero-knowledge proofs. This was a piece to see if the CoinTelegraph is interested in our work to which we received very positive feedback and will continue writing soon.

• Community

  • Two Salon events are scheduled for October and November: 29.10. in Berlin and 17.11. in Barcelona (TBC). We will start organising the latter this week, the conversation takes place in #deep-experiences.

• Research & Development

  • The Human Accelerator project prototype has first users and experiments that help individuals get an initial (physical, mental, financial, relationship) health assessment and an introduction to a system that keeps them accountable. More in #human-accelerator
