Blockchain Competence for Innovation
The potential to shape or disrupt business models and industries
Blockchain is one the key digital technologies with the potential to shape or disrupt many business models and industries. The global blockchain market is projected to grow from $7.18 billion in 2022 to $163.83 billion by 2029 according to Fortune.
Blockchain applications are already used in many industries from banking and insurance to healthcare and retail but also in public administration and government. It is therefore relevant for all organisations to understand implications, potentials and limitations to implement blockchain based solutions for innovation and growth.
The focus of this seminar is not only to provide an insight in the way the blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts work and the types of applications they currently have and might have in the future. Furthermore, it encourages participants to proactively contribute their business experience and proactively develop blockchain-based solutions.
Decentralisation is the key word of the new models made possible by the blockchain. The seminar helps to understand what impact this has on your own business model and how your business model is changing due to the blockchain. However, the seminar does not end with understanding this cryptic new world, but offers the opportunity to actively design a solution yourself with the help of the latest management methods.Participants will be supported in this by industry experts from the various disciplines.
