[GITCOIN 3.0] Gitcoin Grants 3.0: Strategy Sprint [OWOCKI EDITION]

@owocki Hi @maets23 from SimScore here.

It seems the first Gitcoin 3:0 step to develop the process to write the white paper.

Blankboarding may be an interesting option.

It is a process that my company developed at a painful point in it’s development. We couldn’t do the small things right anymore.

Over the next 12 years we blankboarded annually with a 100x increase in valuation.

In simple terms here is the process:

  1. Ask this question: “What are Ethereum’s biggest problems?”
  2. Each stakeholder provides 3 answers.
  3. In a conference, randomized small groups of 5, discuss their 15 answers in a circle.
  4. Each randomized group determines the top 3 answers from their group
    5a. During a deliberation period, all groups merge ideas that are duplicates
    5b. Stakeholders deliberate and ask questions.
  5. Each stakeholder then votes on the top 3 from the whole ecosystem.
  6. The top 10 problems statements from this process become the basis of the white paper.

I ran a process like this for 12 years. The results were outstanding.
