The ongoing rise of modern interest in blockchain, as a form of workplace software automation, continues to grow and swell across the globe. Pilots and applications of blockchain have spread from highly discussed topics such as Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, to a wide variety of industry verticals beyond financial services. Blockchain is also being applied as well within functional areas such as risk and the supply chain – and to certify uniqueness in the world of NFTs, collectibles and digital art.
Much less certain are the best practices, risks and rewards, and the ethics that govern how blockchain is implemented, used, and continues to evolve in commercial, government, education, or non-profit sectors.
