Expect supply chain and logistics to be the first large scale adopters
What problem is blockchain solving here that hasn't been solved already? What technology + procedure is going to be pushed out when blockchain comes in?
Genuinely interested. Like the guy says, to me anyway it's likely they need a ledger and a way of defining and enforcing contracts, not a distributed, anon ledger and self executing software contracts.

Hmm enterprise solutions for distribution systems are made bespoke so it doesn't have to be anonymous, nor are we talking necessarily self-executing contracts. It's mainly relatively inexpensive efficiency gains in terms of security and automation. You have truck A moving from building A to building B and it's all automated, registered, shielded off from a potential corruption attack. You'll have multiple notes validating a transaction instead of one central master-slave system checking things.
I also think enterprises are trying to take this blockchain for distribution as a first foray into blockchain just to get their hands dirty and try and see whatever potential there might be in it for them. This is just a quick guess you might find better info on the web.

People are slow to realise the potential value of Blockchain to solve problems rather than write it off as an investment bubble that's for sure. The problem is that so few people understand what it actually is.
Expect supply chain and logistics to be the first large scale adopters. Lots going on in Oil and Gas too, both upstream and downstream.
