Course Overview

Technology choices around smart contract design are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. Vendors sell this aspect of digital and data-driven work as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Where the wider digital and data-driven work agenda is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It is written for people who have to make smart contract design work with the resources they already have. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of digital and data-driven work has actually achieved. Every module pairs a short input on this area of digital and data-driven work with structured practice on the participant's own material. Ambition around smart contract design outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It concentrates on the parts of the wider digital and data-driven work agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of digital and data-driven work that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Set acceptance criteria for smart contract design before work begins rather than after.

02

Specify the data smart contract design depends on, where it originates and who is accountable for its quality.

03

Define escalation and fallback for smart contract design when the automated path fails.

04

Establish monitoring that detects model or service degradation in smart contract design before users report it.

05

Align smart contract design with the wider objectives of the transformation programme rather than optimising it in isolation.

06

Plan the migration path for smart contract design without an extended outage or a parallel-running trap.

07

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on smart contract design for senior management.

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The pilot that actually settles the argument about smart contract design

  • Confirm the retention and deletion rules applied to data inside smart contract design.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of smart contract design before proposing changes.
  • Decide which legacy process smart contract design retires, and set the date.
  • Estimate compute and licensing cost for smart contract design at expected and at peak load.

Session 2Proving smart contract design paid for itself

  • Benchmark the organisation's smart contract design against comparable operations.
  • Identify every system smart contract design must read from or write to.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to smart contract design.
  • Design the pilot for smart contract design so that a negative result is still useful.

  • Set out how exceptions to smart contract design are requested and approved.
  • Check that smart contract design still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Define acceptance criteria for smart contract design in advance.

Session 2The governance smart contract design needs and the governance it does not

  • Set the metrics that will show whether smart contract design is drifting from its intended behaviour.
  • Assess the regulatory obligations smart contract design triggers in each jurisdiction.
  • Record the reasoning behind each architectural choice in smart contract design.

03

Smart contract design: vendor selection and avoiding lock-in

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Where smart contract design touches systems nobody wants to change

  • Classify the data in smart contract design and apply access controls that match the classification.
  • Measure the current quality of the data feeding smart contract design before assuming it is usable.
  • Rank the weaknesses in smart contract design by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Specify the fallback path when smart contract design is unavailable.

Session 2What to measure in smart contract design and what to ignore

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about smart contract design.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for smart contract design.
  • Define the exit route from the supplier supporting smart contract design.
  • Confirm that those complying with smart contract design understand why it exists.
04

Smart contract design: measuring benefit and retiring what it replaces

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Sizing smart contract design honestly before committing budget

  • Close out actions on smart contract design rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Build the user briefing that explains what smart contract design does and does not decide.
  • Anticipate the objections smart contract design will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Test smart contract design against edge cases drawn from real historical records.

Session 2The hard cases in smart contract design and how to reason about them

  • Build the competence framework that supports smart contract design.
  • Agree who is on call for smart contract design outside working hours.
  • Estimate the resource smart contract design requires to run as designed.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when smart contract design underperforms.
