A Guide to adopting Blockchain Technology

Worth a read :)

Phew, reading this story was a trip.

TL;DR, this chinese hacker group (successfully) coerced chinese motherboard manufacturing plants into altering the designs for their motherboards to include a tiny chip- no larger than the tip of a pencil- so that they could have control over machines that were later assembled on top of these motherboards further down the supply chain.

Their targets appear to have been large tech corporations (Apple, Amazon were/are affected), as well as positions within the US government/military. Supposedly, no consumer data was stolen or affected.

This thing is so goddamn tiny, and yet it supposedly has the power to alter essentially any instructions that get passed from OS to CPU, as it acts as intermediary in between the RAM and CPU from what I understand. It has network access due to how it’s connected to the baseboard management controller, so it can call home for instructions on what code to run, since… it can do whatever it wants with the cpu, apparently? I’d love to see a more in-depth look into how this technology works, honestly.

Considering this doesn’t seem to affect end users at all, and mostly only has caused harm to large corporations and also the US government/military… my reaction to this is mostly a mixture of “lol” and “holy shit that sounds like something out of a goddamn action movie”.

Across almost every industry eligible for change, digital transformation has been the agenda of the business for some time now. Digital transformation can be described as the change in the way a company operates, in order to become an organization that is agile, data-centric, and capable of evolving rapidly. However, research shows that 70 percent of digital transformation projects fail to reach their stated goals. This is often because these projects are built from bottom up. In order to successfully undergo digital transformation, there has to be a collaboration of minds that is led from the top and requires every member of the board to play a vital role in the process.

Here are four reasons why digital transformations should be a top down process.

Role of the Board

It is essential that the c-suite must be engaged in the process of the digital transformation project in some way or the other. The CEO of the organization must take the lead and guide the company along the right path, leading from the front by example. He/she should choose the direction for the future of the company. The CIOs must decide how the flow of information has to change and who will be responsible for what information. The organization must reinvent their customer engagement strategies to adapt to a more digitally balanced environment.

As a whole, the executive level must also look at security and information ownership challenges that digital transformation may bring about, all of which are subject to radical change as the business model evolves. During the process of digital transformation, organizations often experience a difference in the work culture; from one that is hierarchical to one that is agile and has room for freedom. It is important that during this phase, the Human Resources department is heavily engaged and supportive of the digital transformation process.

Finding the right Approach

Each member of the c-suite plays a significant role in the digital transformation of an organization. Too much change at once is not a feasible approach and is one where the c-suite is likely to lose control of things. Hence, a contained approach to digital transformation is preferred by most organizations. In this way, the company can learn and...
