About

The technology dialogue has become more exciting and complex than ever. News feeds are flooded with headlines of artificial intelligence and the power of blockchain technologies. The media push combined with up-and-coming technology vendors has created pressures on boards of directors who are looking to understand the opportunity (and threat) of these dialogues while managing their risks. The pervasiveness of these technologies has made that risk systemic in many cases, where companies are not only trying to minimize existential threats to themselves but also to the broader industry ecosystem. This lens of risk management aligned with revenue drivers and cost considerations is obviously a very complicated one, and it has been navigated with the help of management consultants who apply pattern recognition and industry understanding to assist executives in identifying and minimizing such risks. “Blockchain for CEOs: Three Presentations to America’s Top Boardrooms” aims to democratize access to this insight by providing its readers with a snapshot into the point of views delivered by Obreahny O’Brien, an executive management consultant and technologist, to America’s top boardrooms.

In the same presentation style Obreahny uses with executives to minimize information fatigue, “Blockchain for CEOs: Three Presentations to America’s Top Boardrooms” follows graphically driven representations of these complex concepts with short commentaries intended to provide additional color and invoke discussion for the readers.
