Via a pre survey, employees of the city of Roeselare could give their initial answers/thoughts on several questions on blockchain maturity. This was analysed by the University of Gothenburg. During the workshop on March 8^th, the answers of the different participants where discussed in more detail. After the discussions it was possible to alter the score on blockchain readiness by a mutual consensus from the participants.

Conclusion about the workshop was that Roeselare underestimated herself with regard to the readiness for blockchain technology. A lot of progress has already been made and some attention points were discussed. The discussion led to more awareness from the group on digital maturity. The workshop was not the end, but a starting point for further discussion and actions.
