A Blockchain Business Case Template for Cost Savings

A blockchain business case template for evaluating operational cost savings should prove one point before it asks for investment: the proposed distributed ledger reduces the total cost of a business process more than it adds in technology, integration, security, and governance overhead. I recommend treating blockchain as a shared operating model, not a feature. If the business problem does not involve multiple parties, duplicated records, costly reconciliation, or disputed process state, a conventional database may be the less expensive answer.
