Our Organizational Structure & Expertise
SCL is organized as a dynamic matrix structure. Our organization is divided into two main categories: functions and topics. Members can take part in both or focus on just one. Participation can involve supporting organizational tasks, contributing to projects, or engaging in research. For members conducting research, the workload is generally divided as follows. The work for the topic should take up ca. 80% of the student’s time, and the role within his or her function ca. 20%. This is what our current matrix structure looks like:
Our Topics cover a range of essential areas, including:
- Accounting: Exploring blockchain-based accounting practices and innovations.
- Regulation: Ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
- Tokenization: Exploring and implementing blockchain-based solutions for tokenizing shares.
To efficiently manage these topics and the whole project, we have assigned specific Functions to dedicated teams:
Operations: Ensuring smooth and efficient daily processes.
BD/CRM: Focusing on business development and customer relationship management.
Marketing: Disseminating information through various channels and ensuring high-quality content.
