As a leader, it’s critical to think ahead, especially when it comes to technology. Digital disruption provides an array of challenges but also offers many unique opportunities across almost all industries. Blockchain technology — while initially associated with bitcoin and cryptocurrency — has the potential to be applied to databases and information management across many sectors, but what exactly does that mean and how will that affect leaders and their organizations moving into the future?

During this podcast episode hosted by Bryan Benjamin, Executive Director of the Ivey Academy, we’re joined by guests: Hubert Pun, Associate Professor of Management Science at Ivey Business School; and Carrie Song, Executive Vice President at ViewFin™, Ivey EMBA ‘23 Candidate. In this discussion, we unpack the basics of blockchain technology, explore how this technology can transform organizations on a global scale, and examine real-world examples of how blockchain is providing new opportunities for organizations to reach consumers.
