It’s 2019 and you’re probably still wondering what on earth blockchain technology really is — and you’re not the only one. Blockchain is the technology behind the much-talked-about cryptocurrency, bitcoin. And this is only scratching the surface.

Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt businesses and industries, helping lower costs, enhance trust, transparency, and privacy.

Today, technology is advancing rapidly and businesses need to be proactive to continue growth. The reality is that managers who fail to fully understand the range of applications for blockchain risk being left behind.
