Creating a more efficient, transparent and trusted supply chain using blockchain technology

Transparency and authenticity are the first considerations while purchasing fine jewellery. In the current scenario, with most of the purchases happening on the e-commerce platforms, it is only fair to say that consumers expect authenticity in what they purchase.

So, how can we create a more efficient, transparent and trusted supply chain for the gold jewellery industry using Blockchain Technology?

At MarketOrders, we believe the jewellery industry could benefit from adopting new technologies that help to create these higher levels of transparency. 

One of these innovations is blockchain, and we spent the last two years conducting our research into how this technology can positively impact the trade industry.

The digitisation of processes and certification of diamond and gold jewellery, as well as loose stones, can foster increased levels of confidence across the trade industry amongst crucial players such as retailers, suppliers and miners.

MarketOrders quoted by E-Crypto News on blockchain adoption

The world’s first blockchain was introduced a decade ago. Since then, the adoption of blockchain technology has occurred at snail’s pace. E-Crypto News spoke to some experts, including MarketOrders, about the best blockchain adoption strategies.

Our COO, Sukhi Jutla, said: “Here are my top tips on creating a blockchain strategy:
1. Ensure there is a shared understanding of blockchain within your business and team who will execute the project so they have an understanding of how the technology works. Know what it can do and it’s limitations. This will also help to get management buy-in and support from stakeholders.
2. Define the problem – you don’t want to be boiling the ocean as results will be difficult to quantity. Instead, take time to identify a specific business area or process where you think blockchain could create benefits such as increases efficiently or better transactional performance.
3. Build a Minimal viable product – prototype your idea using minimum resources and in a short time frame. This will allow you to build something fast and not waste months on something that may fail. This MVP will also help to identify if you have created the right solution to the right problem.
4. Identify where you may have a skills gap in your team and recruit the right skill set to help you build your solution.
5. Once you have a solution that works you can then start to think about scaling this to other areas of your business.”

MarketOrders quoted by Media Leaders on company culture

Whether it’s building a better culture, reducing mistakes or avoiding failure, the best companies are constantly seeking to improve as a team.

Some of the best companies will take each project and huddle together to find out what went right, and wrong. The huddle is often called a “debrief” and it’s not just for the business world.

In many of the best companies (and military groups), each project/mission will debrief afterwards to talk about what made it successful and where there are areas to improve upon. One of the key takeaways is to always be positive and never play the blame game.

Our COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted by Media Leaders in their article ‘Debriefing to Win: How Company Culture Excels When Teams Debrief’.

She said: “The biggest difference between low and high performing teams is that high performers take accountability and responsibility for their own actions as well as the collective actions of the team as a whole. This is also how high performing units like the Navy Seals operate – they take ownership, have an open mind, and learn not to take failure or mistakes as a personal attack. Each mistake is viewed as an opportunity to improve the process. Low performing teams, on the other hand, have low levels of trust between team members which results in more blame and the need to protect the ego. They care more about their individual standing and less about the collective unit.

So how do you encourage your teammates to take ownership and responsibility? Provide the right incentives. This can include the opportunity to learn, lead a team, and learn new skills. You also need to create an environment where teammates won’t feel blamed or victimized if things go wrong.

A debrief needs to be depersonalized. Assess and talk about only the actions or processes that were taken and assess them – not the individual who took them. This puts the focus on the actual task that was done and can be assessed without emotional baggage rather than focusing on WHO took the action.”
