Challenges I ran into

1. Lack of adoption
   Blockchains are ecosystems that require broad adoption to work effectively. For example, track-and-trace capabilities in supply chains not only require an organization to adopt a blockchain network but for its suppliers to do so as well. APQC found that only 29% of organizations were piloting blockchain or had fully deployed it.

2. Skills gap
   Blockchain is still very much an emerging technology, and the skills needed to develop and use it are in short supply. As the figure shows, 49% of respondents to the 2020 survey named the skills gap as a top challenge. The marketplace for blockchain skills is highly competitive and has been for some time. The expense and difficulty of talent acquisition in this area only adds to the concerns that organizations have about adopting blockchain and integrating it with legacy systems.

3. Trust among users
   Lack of trust among blockchain users is the third major obstacle to widespread implementation. This challenge cuts in two directions: Organizations might not trust the security of the technology itself, and they might not trust other parties on a blockchain network.

4. Financial resources
   The fourth barrier to widespread adoption of blockchain, according to APQC's research, is the lack of financial resources. Implementing blockchain is not free, and for many organizations the pandemic and disruption of 2020 left budgets tight. However, one other lesson learned from the pandemic is that organizations, and IT departments in particular, can change faster than previously thought possible.
