Digitalisation and Smart Contract Training

About the Course

The world is changing rapidly. Technological acceleration continues to reshape and redefine the competitive landscape. Once thought to be robust, competitive advantage is now fleeting at best. The advent of digitalisation has rewritten the rule book. Traditional ‘paper’ documentation, such as the commercial contract, is evolving.

The advent of smart contracts powered by Blockchain carries the promise of significantly altering the corporate environment permanently - but there are a plethora of considerations and challenges that lay ahead and must still be met.

The quest for sustainability in competitive advantage and the impact of disruptive technology are key drivers for the necessity of continued innovation. This innovation in itself is the key to the creation of a sustainable competitive advantage within an increasingly ‘digital’ world.

This course has been specifically designed to delve into the key aspects of smart contracts and, at the same time, provide a guided framework for the business hoping to capitalise on this digital revolution.

The advanced smart contract development training and digitisation course provides an immersive experience while emphasising open dialogue and examining key issues related to corporate success.
