Every Enterprise Company Is exploring how they can Integrate Blockchain Technology Into The Fabric Of Their Organizations. Many Have Already Begun...
How About Your Organization?
According to a report from PwC, 84% of executives surveyed said their companies are “actively involved” with blockchain technology. The way to conduct business is evolving and Blockchain is playing a big part of this movement. In a recent World Economic Forum report predicts that by 2029 11% of GDP will be stored on blockchains or blockchain related technology
So What Does This Mean For You And Your Company?
With blockchain there is no more guesswork, no more hiding in the shadows, no more obscurity, less complications, easier transactions, etc..
To help move that vision forward, we at Kingsland University developed a program for busy executives designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to understand the impacts, threats, and opportunities blockchain technologies may pose to your industry or company.
Kingsland is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS-CASI), and has been acknowledged as “Innovator Of The Year” by the International Business Awards just last year in 2019.
Over 1,517+ business leaders and executives have trusted us as their go-to source to understand the impacts of blockchain in their industry.
Kingsland is the Global leader in Blockchain education.
In addition to conducting executive level training programs across North America, Kingsland was also brought in to provide Blockchain training to some of the most prestigious organizations in the world such as the (OECD) Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development where the governments of 36 member states with market economies work with each other. Kingsland has also worked with more than 70 non-member economies to promote economic growth, prosperity, and sustainable development along with the governments of Australia, the Bahamas, Anguilla, Bermuda, Mauritius, Singapore, and other nations looking to understand how to benefit from the implementation of blockchain technology.
Business Disruption From Blockchain Is Real But Is It An Opportunity Or A Threat?
Let’s take a look at the international conglomerate, Honeywell International, for keen insight as to how they are successfully utilized blockchain technology…
Within their Honeywell Aerospace unit, they have deployed blockchain technology to disrupt and improve the market for used aircraft parts. Whereas, previously, transactions would take two phone calls, four emails, numerous quotes, two days to close, and an untold trail of paperwork (the sale of larger parts would take many more weeks)…
With blockchain their partners simply locate a part and purchase items – instantly. In turn, they’ve made it easier for their consumers to verify certifications, origin of parts, and have increased transaction speed by a whopping 7,000%!
This powerful blockchain-backed online marketplace allows their more than 800 partners and distributors (including Dassault Falcon Jet Corp. and StandardAero Aviation Holdings Inc.) to trade parts in real-time.
Some will ask, “What about compliance and regulations?”
It’s a valid concern – as many industries (aircraft-parts included) are heavily regulated, requiring special certifications and proper documentation. Yet here’s the catch: blockchain quickly finds the history of a used part, previous owners, origin, everything at the click of a button.
From a consumer benefit standpoint, the real end result of this blockchain breakthrough is that it’s made flying planes much safer for all of us by allowing parts to be sourced quickly and accurately.
Sathish Muthukrishnan, Chief Digital & Information Officer at Honeywell Aerospace said, “The goal was to digitize transactions. To make it frictionless, and remove human interaction, I need a technology that will create trust. That’s where blockchain came in.”
How much do you think increasing transaction speed from a few weeks to a click of a button has been worth to Honeywell?
Here Are The Numbers...
The latest numbers from May 2019 show that by making user-interface and transactions much smoother, blockchain technology helped bring in a windfall $2,000,000.00… in less than 3 months after launching the technology.
Their target sales by year-end are north of $10,000,000.00. Incredible!
Now, Honeywell isn’t the only giant company raking in the profits from blockchain.
The world’s #1 retailer by sales – Walmart – is a huge believer in blockchain technology. Having filed 50+ blockchain patents for everything from tracking shipments to operating drones. They’ve even partnered with IBM Food Trust to improve food safety through easier-to-track blockchain tech, which has helped with food safety, reduction of food borne illnesses. Now whenever these mishaps happen, Walmart can understand when and where in the supply chain they occured, allowing them to remedy the problem quickly and save costs.
Likewise, IBM’s own blockchain efforts are supported by some 1,500 experts, with the company participating in more than 500 blockchain projects.
Alibaba (the Chinese e-commerce giant) is blazing the blockchain path with 90 patents filed for blockchain technology as of September 2018 – allowing them to more easily track, verify, and ship their ecommerce products.
The list goes on and on…
