Course overview

This course is designed for experienced professionals with basic experience in business planning, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies wanting to formalise or further their skills in this area. This course will equip you with the skills required to successfully develop and oversee blockchain teams across a number of different industries and applications.

According to recent workforce data from LinkedIn, blockchain was the most in-demand hard skill of 2020 with the small supply of qualified professionals in this area currently in high demand. This course will teach you how to work with teams to analyse the technical and non-technical aspects and limitations of blockchain and create value by applying blockchain technology, and the tenets of blockchain, to a blockchain business model. You'll also discover how to determine operational readiness and develop a plan to implement opportunities for disintermediation.

The course also covers how to: develop a blockchain business model implementation plan; apply big data and blockchain technologies to the Internet of Things (IoT); develop a team business model that aligns team operations with a blockchain business model; identify and apply big data to enable marketing strategies within a blockchain ecosystem; and develop, monitor and maintain a governance policy within a blockchain network.
