Bugs happen, problems arise, and unforeseen events rear their heads at some point in the life of every business. Now enter blockchain and the uncertainty potential can skyrocket. In this podcast, Thomas Cox, the Chief Governance Officer at Strongblock.io and the “Godfather of Governance” explains why it is so important to have a blockchain governance strategy set up from the very beginning to anticipate problems and address mechanisms that ensure collaborative solutions that are effective and efficient – and learn how his company is on-ramping universally available and enterprise-grade blockchains by making them easy to configure, launch, observe, and most importantly, scale!
Listen to “Ignoring Blockchain Governance is a Recipe for Disaster” on Spreaker.
Without governance, you cannot scale. Period. And many people are ignoring this vitally important aspect when discussing blockchain and security token offerings. Technology is changing at lightning speeds and with that comes the potential for many business development issues. How will these be addressed and dealt with? As Mr. Cox mentions on the podcast, the governance process is how you steer the ship through the murky waters of unanticipated problems. With the proper governance in place, you’re able to face the unknown and find a legitimate way to make decisions and implement blockchain solutions. Without a process of trust, the system falls apart. The moral of the story: don’t neglect governance!
