THE BLOCKCHAIN WATCH 05/01/16

Your business needs a blockchain czar, William Mougayar writes in a piece for CoinDesk. Blockchain won’t have a chance to truly make impact until it’s recognized by the board room key players. How can we speed up the experimentation of blockchain? Build a blockchain lab for trials, establish internal task forces, and appoint a “blockchain Czar” or corporate figure to rally blockchain efforts. “To get on the board agenda, you need to showcase and explain the blockchain’s strategic role,” Mougayar explains. “The board wants to hear how the blockchain will give your company that competitive advantage, and not just how it’s being tested here and there.”
