Test 2: Process
We wanted to test whether systems could be collaboratively built with people and organisations who will use them, enabling their design and efficacy
What we tested
- Curated the group; set the wide and narrow-boundary mission; set the legal architecture
- Facilitated the group to shape intentions for: principles, ecosystem strategy; governing, learning and organising systems.
- Led design of the full infrastructure based on the group’s brief. Group reviewed, adapted and signed off designs using Loomio
- Systems were built and collaborators partly onboarded. Included a shared information portal(s).
What we didn't test
- Collaborative setting of underpinning philosophies to guide deep codes; collaborative risk mapping or legal form consideration; collaborative mission-sitting
- Full prototyping of every process step (e.g. rushed through relationship-building and collective sensemaking due to time constraints).
- Group orchestration after contract signing and kick-off (only partly held after this point)
