The growth of a technology influencer : Nick Ayton

Nick Ayton or the climb of a blockchain thought leader… An all around the world reputable tech thought leader, Nick works with executives to help them understand the complex nature of new technologies that include Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, QuantumAI, Nano Materials, VR and Blockchain, as opportunities and threats for business operating model improvement, customers and the top line growth.

Nick Ayton about the crypto generation: A system that supports the power games of those calling the shots, as this is what it was designed for. A system based on post-industrial revolution structures entering mass manufacturing where the nature of work was designed and packaged to be measured in a hierarchy that became the school of management for almost 100 years. It infected all businesses with frictional costs, a landscape for politics and imposing layers of unnecessary management. A generation of worthless and unnecessary jobs backed by regulation to make sure certain people had a role and could drink from the trough. There are a couple of issues. When people realize they have been sold a lie and Bitcoin offers something different, they want to take back control. The liberation journey begins offering new tools to create your own economy, be your own bank and to trade the value you hold, without friction. This is the crypto way. The Millennials don’t want to work 9-5 sitting in an office, or commute to work. They demand the flexibility to do other things and live an entirely different lifestyle with many becoming ‘digital nomads’.

It all happens very quickly… We remember Blockbuster but forget what really happened. A bricks and mortar business selling (renting) video cassettes and later DVDs was replaced by online consumption of video content (streamlining) as the Web became more efficient, faster, and as bandwidth increased as technology advanced time and again. It was technological advancement. And now Netflix is 30% of all Internet traffic. The sight of the Nokia CEO with his head in his hands where he said ‘but we did nothing wrong’ was astounding. Yet he single handedly failed to see a storm coming and Nokia went from market leader to gone in just a few years, as they failed to see the smart phone revolution being cooked up by Mr Jobs over at Apple. Shareholder value never recovered and investors lost billions. All because management failed to have a plan for what was coming – that was then and Blockchain is now not only coming, it is already here… See even more info on Nick Ayton.
