Blockchain
Blockchain is innovative. But not the way some think.
When we think of technological innovation we can cite many: the rise of the PC, the three-tier client server computing architecture, web-based applications and more recently virtualization and generative artificial intelligence. It’s important for managers just starting to explore blockchain to understand that little that comprises blockchain is innovative in the sense of the cutting-edge newness of discrete technologies.
Rather, the innovation takes the form of a design philosophy: the ways in which existing tech has been arranged and assembled to give blockchain its unique attributes. Design which creates a unique tech stack is where the innovation is. Analogous to containers and microservices. Consider some critical, fundamental elements of blockchain and their relative maturity:
