"Blockchain Disruptive Technology" transformed my life, and I highly recommend this online course to skilled engineers. I joined to reskill while working in pharmaceutical data management. Adapting tech to business needs posed challenges. Blockchain's potential and clear protocols intrigued me. It broadened my perspective on business leadership via emerging tech. This impacted my engineering career, inspiring me to become a tech-savvy business leader. This course opens doors for tech-backed business opportunities, beneficial not just in engineering but also for those exploring the business world. I encourage fellow engineers to consider it.
