• During the strategy formulation process, use of blockchain technol-

ogy needs to be focused on delivering solutions to business problems

that are aligned to strategic outcomes.

• As discussed in Chapter 5, potential blockchain-based solutions

should go through a blockchain fit-score and feasibility framework

to make sure a right use case has been selected to use blockchain

technology.

• Once an appropriate business problem or strategic initiative has been

identified through the blockchain framework, the selected use case

needs to go through strategy formulation and execution methodolo-

gies as discussed in Chapter 6. Any strategic initiative selected to use

blockchain technology must deliver a strategic outcome and align to

the organisation’s vision and mission.

• Strategy execution should launch multiple programmes with key

deliverables, roadmap, timelines and budget allocation.

• As discussed in Chapter 6, one of the main initiatives highlighted as

part of the strategic formulation or execution was uplifting the skills

of the organisation. To be more specific, the skills of all employees

including the leadership team should be uplifted. Business and techni-

cal teams within the organisation should go through capability uplift

on innovative technologies including blockchain. This will make sure

that the organisation is ready to have a competitive advantage.

• Every programme aligned to strategic objectives must go through pro-

gramme management guidelines and governance to make sure that

the outcomes are on target and within allocated budget. This was also

discussed in Chapter 6.

• Every programme needs to create a business case for each initiative

to justify the budget allocation and also deliver the outcomes within

budget and timelines. This also makes sure that each initiative within

the strategic programme delivers an outcome that is aligned to the

organisation strategy. This was discussed in Chapter 7.

SUMMARY

In this book, we have gone through a journey with a deep dive on techni-

cal, business and strategic value deliverables of blockchain technology. We

appreciated the technical aspects of blockchain and how it is and will disrupt

the industry. Blockchain technology’s journey is going through unimagi-

nable transformation and within about 5–10 years will become mature and

establish mainstream adoption. As discussed in this book, blockchain will

disrupt every single industry as long as it is adopted on an appropriate use

case through appropriate due diligence.
