The book declares a simple and important truth: Blockchain has achieved platform status and will be foundational for creating a decentralised society where data #privacy and #security are standard. Edited with a preface by Don Tapscott, brought together by the Blockchain Research Institute and in collaboration with six other contributors, Christian Keil, Anjan Vinod, Dominique Guinard, David Mirynech, Alan Majer, and Michele Mosca, the book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the #platform #revolution.

The Organisation of Tomorrow presents a new model of doing business and explains how big data analytics, blockchain and artificial intelligence force us to rethink existing business models and develop organisations that will be ready for human-machine interactions. It also asks us to consider the impacts of these emerging information technologies on people and society."

The internet was envisaged as a decentralised global network, but in the past 25 years, it has come to be controlled by a few, very powerful, centralised companies. Blockchain is a technological paradigm shift that allows secure, reliable, and direct information transfer between individuals, organisations, and things, so that we can manage, verify, and control the use of our own data.

Big data--the enormous amount of data that is created as virtually every movement, transaction, and choice we make becomes digitized--is revolutionizing business. Offering real-world insight and explanations, this book provides a roadmap for organizations looking to develop a profitable big data strategy...and reveals why it's not something they can leave to the I.T. department."
