Course outline

Our half-day executive training course will provide high-level

information on blockchain, to empower C-Level executives and

management to make more informed decisions on this new

technology.

Blockchain is not just a key component in the future of IT but

the future of many industries and will transform the way we do

business.

The technology has far-reaching consequences for the likes of

banking, legal and professional services to name just a few and

now is the time for management to gain an understanding of

the consequences of this disruptive technology, not just for their

own current business but also to recognize and leverage future

opportunities.

We ask the important questions: What is Blockchain? How does it

work? How can it be leveraged and ultimately, how will it impact

my organization and my industry?

You’ll gain knowledge on how to apply blockchain technology in

industry verticals such as food, banking, contracts and automotive.

Our tutor Damien Conroy incorporates real-life working and

practical examples of each of the verticals that it touches to help

embed your knowledge.
