The post-Covid-19 world is becoming increasingly decentralized and connected. The disruptions are accelerating. This is the last of the 10-part series on Digital Transformation Debt post-Covid-19. It is the fitting conclusion for enterprises that face the transformational challenges of Covid-19. We started the 10-part series on Digital Transformation Debt post-Covid-19 era with Culture – the most critical dimension. We end in this part with Competency Centers. In some ways, those are the parentheses: all the other parts fit in between these two. The Culture sets the tone and direction. The Competency Center governs the best practices. It is time to alleviate the Digital Transformation Debts and start the journey!

Over three decades ago – in 1988 – Phil S. Ensor coined the phrase, "functional silo syndrome” to describe a top down managed organization with vertical departmental silos, characterized by “mistrust” and a lack of cooperation. The negative and destructive impact of “silo” thinking has been known for some time. Yet, while most executives recognize the importance of breaking down silos – they struggle to make it happen.
Part 9 of the ten-part series on Digital Transformation Debt expands upon the post-Covid-19 Decentralized World's emergence. Decentralization is achieved through Blockchains and Blockchain solutions. All the Bitcoin transactions are recorded in the distributed, replicated, and decentralized Blockchain of Bitcoin. There is not one single "Blockchain." There are many Blockchains and in different categories. Ethereum, for instance, has its Blockchain. Variants of Bitcoin, which have "forked" for various reasons, have their Blockchain.
Blockchain is the enabler of the Decentralization trend. This article covers the Blockchain applications, trends, and architecture - especially in the post-Covid-19 era for digital transformation.
