The Pragmatic Guide to Driving Value and Disrupting Markets with
Blockchain "Blockchain's potential to transform businesses has
generated a tremendous amount of excitement across industries.
However, it can be difficult for decision makers to develop a
practical approach to blockchain for their specific business
requirements. By identifying and clearly describing the value of
blockchain for enterprises, as well as the processes required to
harness blockchain to achieve business objectives, Blockchain for
Business presents a startlingly concise yet comprehensive roadmap
for business leaders. This book is an excellent resource for anyone
looking to leverage blockchain to transform their business." -Dr.
Won-Pyo Hong, President & CEO of Samsung SDS "Much has been
written about blockchain in the past few years: what it is and what
it is not (at various levels of detail), as well as the
technology's long-term strategic value for companies, industries,
and economies. However, what we've been missing is a practical,
operational, 'how to' set of steps for creating, implementing, and
operating a blockchain-based solution. This book aims to fill that
gap. It's an invaluable tool for anyone ready to take the plunge
and start taking advantage of this remarkable technology." -Irving
Wladawsky-Berger, research affiliate, MIT; columnist, WSJ CIO
Journal; VP Emeritus, IBM "I will never be able to adequately
express how useful this book will be to my class. In addition the
great chapters on cybersecurity, I loved the Integration Models,
especially 'Coexistence with Systems of Record.' Legacy integration
with Blockchain is a critical barrier, and you nailed it!" -Thomas
Doty, JD, LLM - Adjunct Professor, University of New Hampshire Law
