    Blockchain - Bitcoin (no geo boundaries, min regulation)
    Faster, more agile, more experimental IT. Launch an interim product, improve it using customer feedback
    Amazon has 1000 people working on AI alone. They are investing heavily in robotics and drones.
  • We all like to think about it as a virtual currency, but what other possibilities exist?
    Imogen Heap, british singer songwriter, has posted 1st song on blockchain, with a smart contract attached around use and payment
    Every aspect of financial services - moving money, storing money, trading money, attesting money, lending money - all distruptable
    No more fiddling with your CV after a bad gig
    Can foreign aid go to a beneficiary rather than a beaurocracy?
    Does blockchain REPLACE Uber and Airbnb?
    There is NO industry that is not going to be disrupted by this technology.
    How can you as a BA not be on top of it?
  • Misalignment of current jobs on offer and workforces skillset.
  • Use only university degrees from limited universities as the pool
    Don’t have the time to onboard and upskill grads with gaps
    Traditional grad programmes are too generic
  • Long term - fix education
    Better tools for assessing potential
    Bridging the gap between education and work
