Hypha Reorganization Program

Metamorphosis by Philip Glass depicting and sonifying the changes Hypha is going through..

Purpose

The goal of this document is to start a dialogue to clarify the boundaries for Hypha and provide a much needed framework to focus and prioritize our work in the future. Hypha is currently facing increasing internal tensions due to a missing framework and inability to move the organization forward in a coherent way. As a result, there are too many conflicts that remain unresolved and too many opportunities that cannot be followed through. The outcome of the program is to further reduce coordination costs at Hypha by improving how we work, how we govern, how we pay, and how we transact through the lens of regeneration and decentralization.

Approach

The idea to reorganize Hypha to reduce complexity, strengthen cohesion and provide a true north for everyone to move towards a more effective organization that is not pulled into many directions and is able to focus on product development, knowing where it is going. This can be done through a process of disentanglement (strip out any custom elements), prioritization (decide what comes first), and rebuilding (activate a new strategy).
  1. Disentangle
  2. Prioritize
  3. Rebuild

Disentangle

To frame the conversation, we start with a set of leading questions to help everyone focus on the important parts of the program. These questions are best discussed in a real-time session with key stakeholders of the organization, and each stage can have one or more sessions before moving on to the next stage.

SenseSensing into Hypha

  1.   Where is our energy? our motivation to drive change? make an impact?
  2.   Where is our boundary? our capacity limit? our level of execution?
  3.   Where is our next destination? our expertise to go there? our next local maximum?
  4.   What are our engines? our core products? our drivers?
  5.   What is our relationship to Seeds - the currency, the movement?
  6.   What is it that only we can do and few others can?

Aftercore we have clarified boundaries and structures for Hypha we can move towards a strategy development program by looking at what needs to come first. 

 Core (genesis apps)apps

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
    • LW (transact && transfer)
    ID/PP (identity && access && widgets)
    DHO (coordinate && reward)
    PTM & SWAP (trade && exchange)

    •  Strengthening Extensions (first wave)partnerships

      Assumptions
      Seeds Adoption Hubs > bioregions, academies, explorers, think tanks
      Organization Hubs > organization starter kits
      Global & Bioregional Village Hubs > village platforms 
      Marketplace Hubs > marketplace starter kits
      • Hypha is paying for core Hypha work only
      • Hypha is incubating first wave extensions
      • Hypha is focusing on product development && revenue generation
      • Seeds is contracting Hypha for work (branding, consulting, developing, etc)

      Prioritize

        Re-build

        This stage is concerned with the implementation and execution of the actual strategy and execution for the organization. It works towards concrete steps to get the work done outlined in previous stages. 

        Primary strategic elements

        • Strategy Roundtable
        • Boundaries for core apps and extensions
        • Revenue models for core apps

        Secondary strategic elements

        • Branding & communication strategy
        • Banking and incorporation (Vast Bank & Wyoming DAO)
        • Hypha Archetypes (adjusted for new structure)
          • Legacy frame: Development - Research - HR - Sales - Marketing
        • Hypha product metrics (focused on revenue)
