Irina:Worked:  The daily call with Rieki asto build Samara foundations
Do differently: Create a DHOclear Catalyst with a lot of experience from Hypha has provided a boost of energy and a lot  of great advice. Also a lot of explorationpurpose for potentialeach DHO foundations were discussed. Worth mentioning, there was a lot of work there. Good foundations for Organisation in a box.call

SomeWorked:  other specific thingsTrios for Samara:co-creation
Do Wedifferently: didn'tClear knowstructure eachfor othercollective calls

Worked:  Trusting that the right people will come
Do differently: Think twice before starting this adventure, a big challenge to start such a journeystart-up with strangers from around the world,world

We

Worked:  didn'tCreating have a "box" or a "book"gardens for how to build a DHO, nor experience in another DHO most of us, we had to do the unboxing together, exploring alternatives for arranging different pieces of the box, creating foundations and in the same time start working on the branches, not quite a recipe you would recommend to a start-up :) and yet here we are Bongi: So we have learned... this and this and this now? - Irinaknowledge 

Patterns: learning process how to work async with the right tools took a while, desire to have a lot of connection through meetings (work happened mostly in meetings at first) - Irina

Proposal to Add a section of What Worked and What we would do differently, not necessarily in this page - Irina... Bongi: I would do in the same page instead of one long 'what worked' and then separately 'what we would do differently', let's link each to each other. E.g. What worked: Primary pods for completing quest. Do differently: e.g.Use startDiscord onfor chat and not more 

Worked:  Starting the work outputsfor withSamara easyin towinter scheduletime groups(no andgardening doactivities)
Do moredifferently: asyncMake worksure insteadpeople are committed for a good amount of tryingtime tobefore schedulestarting

multiple groups (often with the same members) to cover each KR.

 

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.
