Abstract
This paper explores the implications of decentralized autonomous organisations by examining a Blockchain operating system for collective intelligence called DAOStack. This technology may affect the role of IT directors in the future because it provides ways to effectively automate governance practices. The paper details a comparative analysis of decision-making factors in hierarchical organisations and decentralized autonomous organisations. The study suggests that although these modern organisations facilitate collaboration and decision making for directors, it is recommended that directors lean more toward influence-oriented skills as opposed to traditional control-based governance approaches. This can be done by making use of tacit knowledge, acting as the facilitators and relinquishing certain aspects of traditional powers and authority to the community.
