Blockchain in Supply Chain Management

Let's go over the contents of this section on blockchain basic concepts.

In this lesson we will define what a blockchain is and how it is structured.

Cryptography is a key element in blockchain. In this lesson we will dive into key concepts in cryptography you should be aware of.

As we have discussed by now, blockchains are a type of distributed ledger. In this lesson we will go over the role of ledgers, and why blockchain is such a powerful innovation.

The concept of digital tokens and "tokenization" are essential in blockchain as it is applied to Supply Chain Management. In this lesson we will go over very important terms and concepts which you should be aware of

Let's go over the contents of this section and what you can expect to see in the following lessons.

In this lesson we discuss the concept of cryptographic hashes and generate our own cryptographic hashes using the included demo blockchain platform.

Having covered the concept of cryptographic hashes, we will now see how cryptographic hashes form part of a block of transactions to be added to the blockchain.

Let's discuss how blockchain is being used in Supply Chain Management as we go over the contents of this section.

This lesson will give you a solid grasp of the key elements of how blockchain is used in Supply Chain Management.

The use of blockchain oracles is an essential part of ensuring that the data stored on a blockchain is accurate and trustworthy. In this lesson we will discuss what they are and how they work to help ensure the quality of the data recorded on a blockchain.

In this section we will work together through a demo scenario of a blockchain solution specifically designed for and being used for a supply chain. This lesson will describe what we will cover.

This lesson describes the details around the Supply Chain Management focused blockchain demo platform we will use, and will set the foundation for the full demo.

In this lesson we will work together through a demo of blockchain technology being applied to a supply chain.

In this section we will go over the benefits and limitations of blockchain as applied to Supply Chain Management.

In this lesson we will review several key benefits to using blockchain in the supply chain.

While blockchain has multiple benefits when it comes to Supply Chain Management, there are also some key limitations you should be aware of.

In this section we will explore multiple real use cases of blockchain applied to Supply Chain Management, including some hands on opportunities to review for yourself.

We will now explore multiple use cases of blockchain being applied to Supply Chain Management. These are real applications of blockchain in the supply chain, and features real products in the market.

Example of My Story, a blockchain powered digital assurance solution from DNV GL.

In this section we will discuss steps you can take to implement blockchain in your supply chain if you are interested in doing so.

There are several types of blockchains which can be best used for different scenarios. In this lesson we will go over them and discuss when each of them makes sense.

This lesson will walk you through a helpful series of questions you can use to help you determine which type of blockchain you should use for your situation.

There are many organizations which promise to deliver blockchain solutions. In this lesson we discuss some of the leading options and what makes each so valuable.

There is a type of offering in blockchain called "Blockchain as a Service" (BaaS).  This valuable offering may be of interest to you. In this lesson we discuss what BaaS is and we cover the leading players in the space.

This lesson will go over a valuable seven step framework you can use to help you develop your own strategy for rolling out blockchain in your organization.

This lesson features a full review of what was covered in the course as well as links to all my social media profiles and additional valuable free resources.

What makes this lecture special:

This isn't your typical course content - it's a deeply personal sharing from me to you. I wanted to step away from the instructor role and connect with you on a human level about the journey that shaped who I am today.

What you'll experience:

• A heartfelt thank you for choosing to learn with me

• The personal story behind my transformation (including overcoming complete blindness)

• Introduction to the Morning Rising Method - a 5-step daily flow that changed my life

• The mindset shift that turns challenges into blessings

• A reminder that we're all just figuring this out together

Why I'm sharing this:

Your enrollment means the world to me, and I believe that sometimes the most powerful conversations come not from curriculum, but from authentic human connection and shared experience.

Key Takeaway:

Whatever challenges you're facing right now, remember - you're not at the end of your story, you're in the middle of it. And it might just turn out even better than you could imagine.

This bonus lecture is my gift to you - a reminder that learning is about more than just acquiring skills; it's about transformation, connection, and believing in the possibility that your best chapters are still being written.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
