One day, tutor led
With over 25 years of commercial
experience in a variety of industries,
including retail, pharmaceuticals,
commodities trading and insurance,
Gary has acknowledged expertise in
Business Intelligence, Data Analytics and
Business Analysis. He is a Chartered
IT Professional (CITP) registered with
the British Computer Society (BCS).
He successfully completed the B9Lab
course “Blockchain Business Strategy”
in 2016 with a score of 80%. He
additionally holds the ISEB Diploma in
Business Analysis.
Gary is well recognised in the Blockchain
/ Distributed Ledger Technology
arena, with particular expertise in the
commercial insurance and legal sectors.
He has presented at several conferences
and events since 2015. A list of events is
available on request. He writes articles
for magazines and thought leadership
blogs on a number of emerging
technologies, with a particular emphasis
on blockchain.
In 2016 he was commissioned by
the London Market Group (LMG) to
investigate Blockchain/DLT and its
potential use in the London Commercial
Insurance Market. The LMG is a
market-wide body, bringing together
the specialist commercial (re)insurance
broking and underwriting communities
in London. It is supported by the
International Underwriting Association
of London (IUA), Lloyd’s of London, the
Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) and
the London International Insurance
Brokers’ Association (LIIBA). His remit,
as part of the London Market Target
Operating Model (LM TOM) Innovation
workstream extended to explore
and educate additional emerging
technologies such as Robotics, AI, IoT
and drones.
His initial analysis identified over eighty
prospective candidate use cases from
which he defined a methodology
to reduce down to a shortlist of five
prospective targets for extensive
analysis. Of the five identified, two
business processes were selected
to run Proof of Concepts (PoC’s) to
determine representative impact of
using Distributed Ledger Technology in
the London Market.
The PoC’s involved working with
brokers, underwriters and Lloyd’s
of London personnel. It included
liaising with the various stakeholders,
undertaking interviews with market
practitioners, co-ordinating workshops
and identifying (and subsequently
engaging) prospective suppliers/
vendors/startups to partner with.
Once vendors were embarked, he
managed the PoC’s acting as LMG client
representative and providing project
management.
After the PoC’s he was then tasked
with writing a series of papers about
the work undertaken, in addition to
additional research performed by
other organisations, on the potential
impact to the market. The assignment
concluded in 2017 with the production
of a recommendation paper for the
client’s programme executive.
Early in 2017, Gary undertook an
investigation with Origo, a provider of
technology services and standards in
the Life Pensions sector. This was to
identify opportunities for Distributed
Ledger Technology adoption. It involved
working with senior executives and
managers to establish a high level set
of candidate business processes. From
these a shortlist of target Use Cases
was developed and a set of to-be
scenarios developed in order to identify
opportunities and challenges with using
the new technology. The assignment
concluded with a board paper providing
an overview of the technology, its
potential adoption in the company and a
series of strategic recommendations.
Gary is former Chair of the British
Computer Society (BCS) Business
Information Systems Specialist Group
of which he remains as an active
committee member. He is Chair of the
TechUK Insurance Pensions Working
Group, a member of the TechUk
Distributed Ledger Working Group,
a partner in Lime Street Digital and a
founding partner of Team Blockchain
(a growing Blockchain consultancy
service).
He maintains an active involvement
in blockchain/Distributed Ledger
Technology through his advisory role
to Blocksure, an Insurance Technology
startup. He is regularly requested to
provide advisory services to startups
using Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to
fund raise. He continues to provide
education, advisory and consultancy
services through Distlytics Ltd, the
consulting firm that he founded in 2016.
In September 2017 he helped to set up
and remains the technical advisor to
ClydeCode – an innovative consultancy
bringing together the legal expertise
of Clyde Co with the emerging
capabilities of Smart Contracts.
Gary now turns his attention to the
automotive sector where he is sure the
same impact can be had as was had on
the insurance industry. Gary asks you to
join him to learn the blockchain basics
as well the secrets to success at his
latest blockchain masterclass.

3. Interview with Gary Nuttall
Richard: “Hi there Gary! Thanks for
agreeing to undertake the interview.
Obviously in March you will be teaching
the Blockchain in the Automotive
Industry Masterclass for us, but before
that I thought it would be helpful to
ask you some questions so that our
readers can get some ideas exactly
what blockchain is and why it could be
helpful for them to learn and understand
why and how it could transform the
automotive industry”
Gary: “Hello, thanks for the invite, I am
keen to get started!”
Richard: “What is blockchain?”
Gary: “The term blockchain is used
to describe a protocol whereby a
write-only, crypographically secured,
programmable, database is distributed
across all participants automatically.
This is quite a mouthful and what’s more
important is not what it is, but what it
enables. By being write-only it means a
complete history of every transaction is
made and cannot be deleted, modified
or corrupted. The cryptography
element ensures it’s secured against
unauthorised use. The programmable
nature (through a capability known
as Smart Contracts) means that the
system can be event driven, without the
need for human interaction, thereby
making processes much faster. The
synchronized nature means that not
only does everyone know that they have
an identical copy of the data as their
counterparts, but that their counterparts
know it too. This massively reduces
the cost overhead of reconciliation and
auditing. Finally, by being decentralised
and distributed it is far less vulnerable to
cyber attacks.”
Richard: “How does blockchain work?”
Gary: “There are different blockchain
protocols and they are designed to
operate in slightly different ways. In
essence however, records are written
to a ledger, in a strict chronological
sequence, as a block of data which is
then given a unique electronic signature.
This means that it would be very easy to
spot if the data has been tampered with.
Each block contains the signature of the
previous block, such that each block
is chained together. Hence the term
blockchain!”
Richard: “I am sure my readers like
me have heard numerous times how
new technologies will transform the
automotive industry, are we sure that
blockchain isn’t a fad?”
Gary: “Just like other emerging
technologies such as Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Robo-Process Advisory
(RPA) and Internet of Things (IoT), there
is a risk that the PR Marketing will
initially deliver a lot of hype without
much substance. Gartner, an IT analyst
firm, currently positions Blockchain
at “The peak of inflated expectation”
and this is likely to continue whilst
large firms continue to promote their
solutions. That said, whilst there’s a
lot of hype, it isn’t a fad. It will lead to
major transformation of businesses and
industries, in much the same way that
the World Wide Web and Internet did.
Richard: “So Is blockchain relevant for
the automotive industry? How will it
affect those working within it? Will it’s
introduction be positive or negative?”
Gary: “If you, or your organisation,
fulfils a role as a “Trusted Third
Party”, i.e. where you act as an
intermediary between two parties
conducting business (estate agents
and conveyancers for example) then
blockchain could be a significant threat
to your business. If, on the converse,
you currently rely on third parties then
blockchain could significantly decrease
your costs, time and effort by providing
a truly trusted environment.”
Richard: “In what ways could it change
the industry?”
Gary: “Imagine how much the industry
could be improved if processes became
much more efficient, relied less on
after event remediation and we had
systems which everyone had complete
confidence that the data they were
using was exactly the same as everyone
else in the process?”
Richard: “Have other industries
implemented it? Did it improve things?
How?”
Gary: “The Financial Services sector
has invested over $1.5Bn in the past
few years. They’re looking at adopting
it to radically improve the efficiency of
the entire banking system, particularly
around payments and identity
management. It’s still early days but I’d
expect 2018 to be the year where we
see a number of projects scale up their
pilot projects to full scale, enterprise
wide, deployments. That’s when we’re
going to see significant improvements
with time and cost savings. McKinsey
has estimated costs savings in excess of
$100Bn in banking within the next five
years.”
Richard: “Why should those
reading this consider attending the
masterclass? What will they achieve
from it?”
Gary: “There is a lot of hype about
blockchain and this masterclass will
dispel the myths, give attendees a solid
foundation of knowledge about how it
really works and what appreciate what
benefits it is capable of providing. You’ll
get to see live examples of blockchains
actually working. You will have the
opportunity to learn about the use cases
being deployed, both generally and
specific to the automotive sector and
will be able to assess what processes
are suitable for consideration and,
importantly, which are not.”

4. Industry Survey results
Our recent Worldwide Automotive Industry Survey results proved that many of those
working in the industry are not fully up to date / knowledgeable about about blockchain.
View just some of the results below:
With the idea of blockchain not fully penetrated as an idea into the industry those that learn
and implement now are likely to be at a significant competitive advantage!
It seems from these questions that blockchain as a term hasn’t really penetrated the majority of the
automotive industry. It shows we really are in the early stages and that those who attempt to engage
and learn now may end up with future competitive advantage.

Have you heard the term blockchain before
in relation to the automotive industry?
When do you think the industry will adopt
blockchain-based solutions as a de-facto standard?
If you have heard of blockchain, do you think
it will help or hinder your job?
Do you believe your business will implement
blockchain based solutions?
Once again we see a wide range of answers to these questions. It seems there is a general atmosphere
of confusion out there. Those companies that seek to take advantage of this, that seek to learn now
how blockchains can be incorporated in the best way for their business will receive the competitive
advantage over the next few years.

6. Venue Information
The local area:
Discover your own corner of London at the Hotel
Indigo® London Tower Hill hotel. Brick walls
reminiscent of the original Roman structures that
once stood here add history to our guest rooms,
which also feature four-poster beds, iPod docking
stations and designer bathrooms. The sights of the
neighborhood—Tower Bridge, the Gherkin—are also
reflected in our décor. Or, you might like a stroll
around our historic area: St. Paul’s Cathedral is a short
walk, and we know where to socialize in the Square
Mile; just ask. You’ll find warm and friendly service
with us here in the heart of London’s financial district.
Why not visit the surrounding sites in the days before or after the masterclass?
The Tower of London
The masterclass will take place a five minute walk
from The Tower of London, officially Her Majesty’s
Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London,
is a historic castle located on the north bank of the
River Thames in central London.
Roman Wall
Constructed around AD 200, this wall was built
to define the early boundaries of London. Large
sections of the 20-foot wall can still be seen just
outside the Tower Hill Underground station, which is
a short walk from the hotel. The wall once stretched
for three miles, so if you’re feeling energetic, why not
trace its route from Tower Hill to Blackfriars? Go!
