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
