Program Professional Framework

Blockchain and other Emerging Technologies

Program Overview

Blockchain, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, digital twins and quantum computing are frequently presented as transformative, but leaders need a sober basis for judging where each fits. This programme explains how distributed ledgers work, including consensus, smart contracts, permissioned networks and tokenisation, then examines other emerging technologies and how they combine. Participants apply an evaluation framework to real use cases in government services, trade, finance and energy across the Gulf, weighing value, maturity, risk and regulation.

Learning Outcomes

✓Explain blocks, hashing, consensus mechanisms and smart contracts in plain business terms.
✓Distinguish public and permissioned blockchains and select the appropriate model for a use case.
✓Evaluate whether a business problem genuinely requires a distributed ledger or a conventional database.
✓Describe the business applications and limits of AI, IoT, digital twins and quantum computing.
✓Assess an emerging technology proposal for value, maturity, risk and regulatory fit.
✓Outline a pilot plan with success criteria for a selected technology.

Applied Project & Assessment

Applied Project

Participants evaluate one emerging technology use case for their organisation using the course framework, compare it with a conventional alternative and present a go or no-go recommendation with a pilot plan and success criteria.

Assessment

Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
