Gartner says 80% of blockchain supply chain developments won’t get out of design and development for several years. So many of them are just recycling financial blockchain ideas into supply chain space without understanding the issues. A case of a solution chasing a problem, the bugaboo of ITY initiatives forever.
I’d like to get my hands on this report from Gartner. It should be interesting.
The Gartner source below says 90%!!! I like that number better as an estimate.
Here’s a quote from the latter press release from Gartner:
“The budding nature of blockchain makes it almost impossible for organizations to identify and target specific high-value use cases. Instead, companies are forced to run multiple development pilots using trial and error to find ones that might provide value. …
Furthermore, current creations offered by solution providers are complicated hybrids of conventional blockchain technologies.”
Exactly.
via Blockchain may be the way ahead for supply chains – but not yet – The Loadstar
