Blockchain is rapidly ascending to the forefront of emerging technologies and investment priorities, establishing itself as a transformative and disruptive solution. These initiatives often encompass diverse stakeholders, each operating with intricate business processes, spread embedded within distinct systems and infrastructures, across varied administrative and geopolitical landscapes. With workflows spanning multiple organizations and complex compliance demands cutting across industries, blockchain’s impact is unavoidable. It brings enhanced operational efficiency, bolstered security, and greater transparency, offering both significant challenges and remarkable advantages to organizations worldwide.
Blockchain technology is transforming how businesses operate, from new ways of performing transaction management to decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Distributed ledger technology will create new foundations for the global economy and impact social and political systems. The use of this technology holds the promise to rethink how we organize human life while enabling communities to apply economic design principles.
The use of Blockchain also promises to bring significant efficiency and effectiveness to global supply chains, financial transactions (including cryptocurrencies, the token economy and new ways of financing ventures), asset ledgers, legal regulations, automated decision making through smart contracts, a new paradigm for security (cybersecurity), and decentralized networks.
The courses in this program focus on providing a comprehensive overview of the technology, the architecture behind it, and how to leverage blockchain for competitive advantage across and within industries and economies.
As part of an independent 4-course Certificate, or an all-inclusive Deploying Analytics Certificate (Big Data, Business Intelligence, Knowledge Management), or Technical Training Certificate, candidates learn how to harness Blockchain to meet specific business needs/objectives and find innovative ways to reach new customers, maximize efficiency/effectiveness, and drive profitable growth.
These Blockchain courses prepare candidates for careers supporting this evolving field, including the driving forces behind cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin), and other cross industry and industry specific opportunities. In these Blockchain courses, participants will understand the various technical considerations for selecting a technology/platform and applying the technology in real-world applications.
While programs are flexible and scalable, prior to taking any of these courses, candidates should have taken Fundamentals of Information Technology Management or its equivalent.
