We live in an era where technology goes hand in hand with business. It impacts the pace at which businesses grow and it’s interesting to see trends that will emerge from some of these technologies.
Our COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CEO Blog Nation article ’18 Entrepreneurs Discuss The Technologies That Will Have the Biggest Impact On Entrepreneurship’.
She said: “Any technology that improves the speed and accuracy on how to communicate with your team and stakeholders will help entrepreneurs. Running a business means the founder is accountable to all people including their staff, customers and investors and other stakeholders. It is vital to be able to communicate key information effectively and in a timely manner.
So, tools that help to do this such as apps that help you write effective and to the point emails/presentation and tools that help you to communicate on a global basis like Zoom will create transformative results. In a world that’s shifting to remote working practises it is more important than ever before to ensure communications still take place is an effective manner.”

How can companies determine that they are suffering from blockchain fatigue, and how can decision makers and staff overcome it?
Check out Sukhi Jutla comments in Information Age article ‘Determining and overcoming blockchain fatigue’.
She said: “Blockchain fatigue sets in mainly due to the fact that not many people fully understand what this technology offers and so have difficulties trying to implement it into their business or process. This lack of understanding can lead to frustration and consequently a dwindling enthusiasm for the technology.
“While still in its infancy, blockchain is perhaps stretching the patience of those who were initially overly optimistic about the technology. The continued lack of full-scale implementation of blockchain is creating this sense of fatigue as there are still no end-to-end fully deployable solutions available for enterprises.
“Most of the work still focuses on small pilot projects and this, coupled with technology immaturity, lack of standards and a general misunderstanding of how blockchain technology works and what it offers, is also contributing to the market feeling fatigued with blockchain.”

Use cases for blockchain are getting increasingly common in various sectors, but how can companies achieve a perfect blockchain strategy?
Check out Sukhi Jutla’s comments in Information Age article ‘How to perfect your blockchain strategy’.
She said: “Ensure there is a shared understanding of blockchain within your business, and make sure that the team who will execute the project have a strong understanding of how the technology works, including knowledge of what it can do as well as its limitations.”
She added: “Identify where you may have skills gaps in your team and recruit the right skill set to help you build your solution.
“Then, you must define the problem – don’t waste your time boiling the ocean! Instead, take the time to identify a specific business area or process where you think blockchain could create benefits, such as increasing efficiency or improved transactional performance.
“Once you have a solution that works you can then start to think about scaling this to other areas of your business.”
