Book Description
The accessible,non-technical guide to applying and benefiting from blockchain technology.
Blockchain has grown at an enormous rate in a very short period of time. In a business context,blockchain can level the playing field between small and large organisations in several ways: Exact copies of the immutable,time-stamped data is held by all parties,all transactions can be viewed in real time,data blocks are cryptographically linked,all raw materials are traceable and smart contracts ensure no middle-men,ease of audit and reduced friction. The trust,transparency,security,quality and reduced costs of blockchain make it a game-changing technology that crosses sectors,industries and borders with ease. Even though the technologies are ready for adoption,businesses remain largely unaware of their full potential and effective implementation.
