Core Blockchain B4B

Description

The C-level course will help you learn about Blockchain technology and how it is changing the world around us. In this 2-day hands-on workshop, you will learn about Blockchain and the problems it solves. You will explore smart contract development and how it simplifies processes, brings transparency and addresses the problem of trust that exists today. You will understand Blockchain use cases for multiple industry verticals through use case analysis, demos and interaction with smart contracts.

You will learn to use a decision-making process for choosing a Blockchain platform for specific enterprise use cases, and understand the advantages and trade-offs of using Blockchain compared to traditional technology.

Finally, you will learn (at a high level), how to run a design sprint to implement a Blockchain based solution in your organisation.
