Caldwell to be premier executive search
firm for organizations employing blockchain
technologies
TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2018 /CNW/ - As part of the firm's
strategic initiative to position clients ahead of critical emerging
technologies, Caldwell is excited to announce the formation of its
Blockchain Advisory Council, aimed at driving the understanding,
integration and implementation of blockchain technologies for
Caldwell client companies.
Caldwell has partnered with blockchain consulting firm, BTblock,
to lead the development and launch of the Blockchain Advisory
Council, the newest offering within its Agile Talent Solutions.
"Blockchain technologies carry the potential for substantial
impact within our client's organizations, as they can enable the
strategic reorganization of workflows and related structures," said
Chris Beck, chief operating officer
of Caldwell. "Businesses in every area of the economy are
rethinking how best to use talent and leverage it in different
ways, and Caldwell is at the forefront of this changing dynamic.
With the launch of the Blockchain Advisory Council, we are the
premier executive search partner for clients as they train and
position the key executives who will lead their adoption of
blockchain technologies."
In an interview with Bloomberg, David
Garrity, partner at BTblock, said "despite cryptocurrency
issues, enterprise interest in possible blockchain applications is
growing and far reaching for any supply chain. IBM in March 2017 launched the Hyperledger Fabric
blockchain in conjunction with Energy-Blockchain Labs, as a means
of tracking carbon assets in China. This creates a measurable and auditable
system for tracking emissions, and facilitates a tradable market
for companies seeking to offset their energy consumption whilst
incentivizing greener industrial practice, for example. Blockchain
technology potentially has broad application. Look for successful
blockchain deployments to underpin and support the value of the
related cryptocurrency tokens."
The goal of the Blockchain Advisory Council is to provide
Caldwell's clients with the opportunity gain deeper knowledge on
the world of blockchain disruption and its portents, and
potentially put this knowledge into action.
"There is no shortage of good use-cases for Blockchain" said
Tammy Kahn, Partner at BTblock. "It
does, however, require thinking strategically about where
blockchain is best leveraged within a company. Once that is
determined, though, all roads lead to finding talent. In partnering
with Caldwell, we can ensure the vision and strategy is executed
with the right hire. This is a forward-thinking initiative that
will facilitate real business results for Caldwell's clients."
