This webinar will identify the main differences between a centralised versus a decentralised ecosystem and provide various examples of both. It will further explore the weaknesses in centralised systems while scaling up and how lack of coordination, transparency and human greed leads to dysfunction in large centralised systems. It will further explore when decentralised systems can function best and when they fail, and how technology can help us decentralise efficiently.
Following the Masterclass, audience can ask questions about the programme.
