Does blockchain still hold relevance for global supply chains, or was it a passing fad?
Just a few years ago, talk of blockchain for the supply chain was all the rage. And “talk” is what most of it amounted to. Today, blockchain remains an aspiration for many businesses. So why is a technology that’s nearly two decades old yet to catch fire on a wide scale? And what exactly does blockchain offer to global supply chains? On this episode, we get answers from Bryan Daugherty, global public policy director with BSV Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the BSV public blockchain. He explains how blockchain, a distributed and immutable digital ledger of transactions, can help businesses that are struggling with conflicting data, and consequent delays in exchanging it with supply chain partners. Blockchain, Daugherty says, provides an answer to “fragile, opaque and truly heavily siloed logistical problems.” Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
