Getting Blockchain Ready : Three Conceptual Overhaul Suggestions
|
By Dr. Hans Maurer, New Zealand IFPS Director and chair of the Chain Information Management Committee
In my earlier comment piece entitled "Blockchain: myth or salvation?", I touched upon the need for a conceptual overhaul in the way our industry works to give Blockchain technology a chance to succeed.
Three suggestions for such an overhaul are the need to accept GS1 standards as an integral part of product and grower identification; to settle upon an appropriate and consistent procurement strategy and then stick to it; and, to adopt the 7th Principle of Supply Chain Management (Anderson et al, 1997).
