Video description
Imagine it's 1994 and the dawn of the internet. In many ways, it is. A growing army of pioneers is once again laying the rails for a new digital world. Like the first digital revolution, this one will also transform the way we live, work and play. It will disrupt entrenched industries. And shatter conventional business models. With so much at stake, how do you prepare?
Unblocked takes you past the hype and insider speak to show you what blockchains are and how they’re poised to change our world. Blockchains are more than flexible multi-tools that hold promise to solve our most pressing digital problems including privacy risks, hacks, data misuse, fakes and fraud. Along with a family of related technologies, they are a social movement that offers an abundance of opportunity for those who know how to leverage them. Unblocked explains:
- Why ignoring this technology exposes you to competitive disruption
- What's coming in this next era—no technical background required
- How to prepare your organization to respond to the coming shift
