| − | ==How it is done==
| |
| − | Apart from a standardised preparation and work done in various roles and responsibilities the actual session is a pretty clean cut:
| |
| − | :1. Room is sufficiently filled with prepared blockchain-experts and or experts on the topic of the presentation. Camera running if possible, Decision made about social media activity, someone or two people make notes, etc.
| |
| − | :2. Presenter makes his or her plea, the status of the information exchanged is clear upfront/ Either disclosable or not. Expertise added from the expert-forum present is always open source (CC by SA) - max 15 minutes.
| |

| − | | |
| − | ==What is said and not said==
| |
| − | The meeting is behind closed doors. Associates and members of Blockchain-lab have committed themselves to a non-disclosure to offer a trusted environment for the presenter to fully speak out about plans and their challenges in an early stage of developments.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But of course we would like to be able to speak out in the open about subjects and topics so speaker that allow this, will get preference.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Dear ...,
| |
| − | | |
| − | At blockchain-lab we have a weekly session with people from outside our organisation on Tuesday mornings. Our goal is to test and strengthen ideas. Those ideas could be an approach that you have in your own organization to bring the blockchain innovation under the attention of your colleagues, a design of a product or service, either targeted internally of at customers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Our question is simple: would you mind to come and perform for us one time? If so, would Tuesday ... or Tuesday .... fit your agenda?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Request for proposal==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The content of the 15 minutes presentation is very crucial for the rest of the session:
| |
| − | :1. It needs to have '''substance''' for the experts in the room, but the introduction in text has to be '''brief''' (Make an abstract)
| |
| − | :2. It must be an open discussion. If a presenter were to withhold crucial information for the group of experts, the latter might be not taken seriously and respected for their free advice and/or assessment. Dare to put yourself in a vulnerable position. It is safe.
| |
| − | :3. Please send in the questions you have that you would like to have answered or given a view on by the group of experts.
