Evaluate blockchain applications in supply chain, finance, and government — and learn where it creates real value. Blockchain technology is reshaping how organisations build trust, share information, and operate across complex networks.
But where does blockchain create real value — and where do its limitations lie? This course moves beyond the basics to examine how businesses and public-sector organisations are applying blockchain in practice. You’ll explore blockchain applications across three sectors: supply chain management, where it improves traceability and transparency; financial services, where it enables faster payments, cross-border transactions, and asset tokenisation; and government, where it supports digital identity and more accountable public services. Each module includes real-world case studies that show how organisations are using the technology today. You’ll also examine the challenges of blockchain adoption — including scalability, interoperability, governance, environmental impact, and regulation — and assess the trade-offs organisations face when implementing it. The course concludes with a strategic perspective on how blockchain can create competitive advantage, reshape business models, and drive digital transformation. Who this is for: Business professionals, managers, analysts, and students who understand basic blockchain concepts and want to evaluate its strategic applications across industries. No programming experience is required.
