In this webinar, Sorrella Smith talks about her research into Blockchain technology as one of the Sustainability Scholars* for 2019.

Sorrella is a Quality Manager at Laing O’Rourke and in her presentation she covers an understanding of Blockchain technology, including advantages/disadvantages and current examples, as well as discussing potential use cases for the technology within the UK construction industry.  Blockchain, frequently hailed as having potentially a greater impact than the invention of the internet, might have the potential to improve productivity, improve efficiencies and reduce costs.
