Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.   This week I am excited to welcome Alison McCauley to the What’s Next Podcast!  Alison is the founder and CEO of Unblocked Future, a firm that helps organizations pushing the frontier of emerging technology to communicate vision, build ecosystems, and go to market. Alison is also the best-selling author of Unblocked: How Blockchains Will Change Your Business, and a frequent keynote speaker about the impact of emerging technology on our lives and our world.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone working on or interested in data science and analytics or blockchain technology and anyone intimidated by it and seeking to learn!  TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… We’ve seen a dramatic breakdown in supply chains during this time and this pandemic… In this episode, Alison McCauley breaks down emerging technologies in a way that informs the laymen and the savvy professional alike. She discusses the reshaping of the ways in which we conduct business, supply chains, selling and marketing, even cybersecurity and bringing humanity to tech, and (of course) blockchain! According to Alison, blockchain can provide hugely beneficial transparency and visibility when you have competing interests all touching the same ecosystems, and simplify otherwise unnecessarily convoluted processes.   WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Alison’s Protopian viewpoint of technology and her enthusiasm for human-focused design in tech!    Running time: 29:11      Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social:   Facebook   Twitter   LinkedIn   Instagram      Find Alison online:   LinkedIn  Twitter  Unblocked: How Blockchains Will Change Your Business
