Blocbase Case

Team-Ravens
Objective

To create a healthy ecosystem for an open-ended, customizable block chain infrastructure “BlocBase”, which allows it to
thrive and rewards customers, company and investors at every touchpoint

Approach
“Bloc Base” will have three separate ecosystems: Physical, Digital, and Emotional.
Digital
Physical Ecosystem
 How effectively people interact with physical objects
Physical
 Simply “Man to Machine” relation

Digital Ecosystem
 Solve much needed transparency and accountability Emotional
problem in value chain.

Emotional Ecosystem
 Strong Human to human interaction is a key. Example: Trust worthy supplier and purchaser
relationship
Issues:-
 Block-chain ecosystem is not defined
 To clearly define the value chain of Block chain
 Proper block-chain technology infrastructure is not defined
 How to find trained talented migration experts and project managers.
 Resolve problems of legacy-switching and supplier credibility, accountability, transparency in
value chain

Solution:-

• Block-chain Ecosystem
Investors
Digital

Users Blockchain Miners Physical

Developers
Emotional
 To clearly define the value chain of Block chain

Solution:-

Value Chain of Block chain

 As a shared ledger, block-chain allows the retailer,

supplier and transport companies to work off the
same data – a single version of truth.

 As each partner updates the block, the trusted, real-

time data can be used to optimize forecasting and
transportation planning.
 Proper block-chain technology infrastructure is not defined
Solution:-
BlocBase infrastructure should be designed to have below capabilities:

 Open source
 Modular architecture
 Global scale
 Public block chain
 Configurable for private block chain
 Advanced smart contract capability

Trained talented migration experts and project managers.

Solution:-
 Follow non traditional approach
 Recruit from communities like Gitter, Bitcointalk, Slack and Reddit
 Arrange cryptocurrency meetups and conferences
 Use freelancing sites like Upwork
 Resolve problems of legacy-switching and supplier credibility, accountability, transparency in value chain

Solution:-
Supplier credibility provide accountability, transparency in value chain Legacy Switching:
 Currently there is no technology
 Distributed ledgers to create unchangeable and shared record of available for data migration
 every transaction.  BlocBase could try to convince the
 Each record is time-stamped and appended to the preceding event. clients based on the numerous
 With shared processes and systems of record, all parties reach advantages it offers in long term
 consensus on every transaction

1. What research framework should Analyticos now use to build the business plan for BlocBase? What are the key
dimensions to explore for arriving at a good picture?

Questions

2. Which part of the blockchain value chain should BlocBase specialize in? Or should we tell our customers we do everything in
blockchain, and hence BlocBase can be used for everything?

As per Gartner's research blockchain technology is still immature so there is no point in mentioning that BlocBase does everything.

However enough research has been done on below mentioned topics:

 Distributed ledgers
 consensus mechanisms
 cryptography and cryptocurrency tokens
 Wallets
 Smart contracts.

Above topics will provide enough support in buying and selling of goods and services.
So BlocBase can go into Procurement, Sales and Distribution part of value chain.

3. Which industry vertical (s) should we focus on? Should we, at all, or keep it vertical independent?
Answer: Vertically Independent
Questions
4. What node of the generic business value chain, or which business function should we show BlocBase as expert
in? Or, should we straddle the entire business value chain - covering everything from inbound logistics to
outbound logistics and even secondary and tertiary activities?

Answer: As per infrastructure and technology is immature so BlocBase should currently focus on Purchasing and Selling

5. How do you build the BlocBase talent ecosystem with professionals trained and certified in BlocBase
implementation? Would you develop your own credentialing and certification mechanism OR would you choose an
independent third-party certifier?

To build Talent ecosystem: Certification Mechanism: Independent

Currently finding a Blockchain developer is like finding a needle in the third party
stock pile of trash
• Follow non traditional approach
• Recruit from communities like Gitter, Bitcointalk, Slack and Reddit
• Arrange cryptocurrency meetups and conferences
• Use freelancing sites like Upwork
