Bongi: 

Worked: Open meetings and deep exploration for start of group human connection. 1:1 that followed to enhance this.

Do Differently: Have more 1:1's at the beginning when the open time and initial connections are forming. Have that lead into the purposing exercises facilitated by an external and aligned party.

Worked: Agreeing on a minimal governance proposal and discussing how we make decisions.

Do Differently: Start and establish this very early on, perhaps right at the beginning, together with Sociocratic principles and distributed authority training and distinctions, so that the reasons for governance are clear and understood to be beneficial to the group. 

Worked: Quest proposal for Hypha. 

Do Differently: Start it much sooner with clarity and definition of purpose earlier. 

Worked: Working in focus groups of 3 and then shifting to 4 for starting work. Growing/ taking to larger group as topic/proposal/work material evolved. 

Do Differently: Schedule rare meetings for everyone in org to attend. Breakout rooms to check in personally with max 3 people.
