Based on broad domain knowledge and first-hand experiences with launching DAOs, Thomas Belkowski and Lukas Falcke share their insights into holistic DAO governance. They provide five guidelines for prospective DAO founders on how to develop governance mechanisms that can enable thriving DAOs. Although these general guidelines apply to a range of DAOs, the authors warn against applying a one-size-fits-all approach to DAO governance.

Iweta Laskowska explains some of the myths around blockchain, such as anonymity, transparency, and privacy. She guides the reader to an understanding of what anonymity in peer-to-peer networks means and introduces the concept of “de-anonymization of transaction history,” which involves the identification of the real-world identities of contractors (senders and recipients), as well as the value that is sent. As Laskowska suggests, “The involvement of third parties in the management and authentication of transactions is expensive and time-consuming. Distributed public networks reduce the need for central authorities and eliminate the ‘single point of failure.’” This ultimately allows for greater participation in decision making.

Repeated Amplify contributor Ralph Menzano posits that airports can be viewed as microcosms of cities and, as such, offer important lessons to public sector entities around the world. Specifically, emulating the strategies used by airports during the pandemic could help municipalities and others become more resilient. Airport leaders moved quickly to shut down terminals and gates, adjust flight schedules and staffing, and change parking systems — then pivoted to delivering vaccines and medical supplies rather than passengers. Leaders also made sure they were ready to resume expansion plans and hit revised passenger targets as soon as restrictions eased. Menzano points to strategies and technologies other public sector entities could benefit from, including sustainable programs (airports are adopting electric vehicles to transport passengers and luggage and deploying goat herds to maintain dense scrub vegetation), virtual assistants to help customers navigate complex websites, and personnel programs that simultaneously promote equity and diversity.

David F. Larcker, Amit Seru, Brian Tayan, and Laurie Yoler explore how AI could reshape boardrooms by enhancing the volume, quality, and timeliness of information available to directors. AI can reduce information asymmetry, support predictive analysis, and enable real-time scenario planning. These tools help boards become more proactive and better prepared for meetings. However, the authors caution that greater access to information may blur the line between governance and operations, requiring executives to manage directors’ deeper involvement carefully.
