Blockchain technology opens up new perspectives for decision-makers and leaders
Blockchain technology is increasingly shaping the strategic agenda of managers in various industries. Decision-makers are increasingly turning to coaches and consultants who can help them assess and implement this technology. Blockchain technology helps to make complex projects transparent and secure, increasing trust in inter-organisational cooperation.
Increased efficiency and security through blockchain technology
A key advantage of blockchain technology is the secure and decentralised processing of transactions. Data is stored in an unchangeable register and can be traced by all parties involved at any time. This eliminates dependence on centralised intermediaries. Decision-makers can thus organise processes more efficiently and reduce costs at the same time.
In the energy sector, for example, a blockchain-based platform enables private producers to sell electricity directly to consumers. This creates new local markets that are more transparent and trustworthy. Blockchain technology is also showing great promise in the SME sector, especially in cross-company collaborations, where it supports data security and process automation. Smart contracts automate processes and ensure integrity, which often leads to a noticeable improvement in value creation.
Managers often report that blockchain technology improves the controllability of complex value chains, which is already evident in numerous pilot projects in the logistics and consumer goods industry.
Practical examples of the benefits of blockchain technology
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) With blockchain, internal document management processes could be automated and made audit-proof. This led to a significant reduction in sources of error and improved transparency across the entire supply chain. Stakeholders benefit from a shared understanding of data, which strengthens trust and accelerates decision-making.
BEST PRACTICE at ABC (name changed due to NDA contract) In retail, blockchain technology ensured seamless product tracking and thus increased consumer safety. Tamper-proof documentation made it possible to carry out targeted product recalls and minimise fraud attempts. Decision-makers received reliable information at an early stage to minimise risks.
BEST PRACTICE at DEF (name changed due to NDA contract) In the automotive industry, blockchain was used to digitally map maintenance and repair histories. The technology supported more efficient vehicle management and improved service processes. Managers appreciated the improved data quality and the associated optimisation of customer satisfaction.
Blockchain technology as a driving force in the financial sector
Blockchain technology has considerable potential in the financial sector in particular. Smart contracts enable automated transactions that relieve the burden on previous manual processes. This creates new financial products and services that do not require traditional intermediaries. Decision-makers report that these technologies help to manage risks more transparently and better fulfil compliance requirements.
Decentralised financial systems (DeFi) are also creating completely new digital marketplaces for lending and trading that are competing with traditional banks. Despite the regulatory challenges that still exist, leaders are proactively utilising blockchain technology to make their business fit for the future.
How managers can successfully support blockchain projects
Decision-makers should see blockchain projects not only as a technical challenge, but also as a transformation of corporate culture and processes. Coaching often supports clients in identifying suitable application scenarios and setting up pilot projects that can later be scaled up.
It is important to build up employees and form interdisciplinary teams for blockchain-based digitalisation. Sharing ideas with industry peers and a clear understanding of the technology promote sustainable project success.
By strategically integrating blockchain technology, managers not only support innovative projects, but also provide new impetus for their organisations to improve transparency, trust and efficiency.
My analysis
Blockchain technology offers a wide range of opportunities that go far beyond individual technical applications. For decision-makers and leaders, there is a tension between the pressure to innovate and the need to master technological complexity. Support from experienced coaches can help to create clarity and implement projects in a targeted manner. Particularly in combination with other trends such as artificial intelligence, practical applications are emerging that have the potential to change entire industries in the long term.
