In this blog series, I have demonstrated the value of blockchain for HR in financial services and talent management. Now, the only question remaining is: where do you start?
First, walk through the decision tree below to determine if blockchain is a suitable technology for you.
Is your business ready for blockchain?
Nine steps to get started with blockchain
- Call Accenture.
- Identify the HR area performance gaps that could use blockchain. We’ll help you research the appropriate use case to align with your gaps.
- Create a map of all data instances associated with the target area. We’ll help you identify if multiple data instances can be consolidated to a single data source.
- Determine whether you need a public or private blockchain.
- Next, we’ll help you choose the right vendor for implementation.
- Design nodes and a blockchain instance. We’ll help you decide on a cloud, on-premise or hybrid solution; choose an appropriate operating system; and build the necessary APIs.
- Design an admin console and user interface.
- Pilot the blockchain solution.
- Identify future technology integration with your blockchain solution.
