Crisis Impacts: What’s Next for Organizations?


News Image

“These five business areas are ones that will help organizations meet current critical needs and prepare for what may come tomorrow.” Brian Turner, Point B President of Consulting

As organizations contend with the business impacts of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Point B, a consulting company that puts humans at the center of change, is working with customers and experts across the nation and has identified five key areas of focus to keep organizations moving forward toward future growth and success. These include:

1. Driving Rapid & Sustainable Cost Reduction: Businesses need to achieve transformational and sustainable cost reduction by rapidly eliminating non/low-value activity through automation, process optimization and consolidation, and converting unproductive capacity to higher value purpose.

2. Transforming Operations into a Competitive Advantage: It’s time to develop both the tools and processes to increase the effectiveness of assets and workflows through simplification, standardization, connectivity to remove silos, and the capability to measure value and cascading KPIs.

3. Realizing Return of Technology Investments: Organizations must get the most out of their spend and maximize the productive potential of technology investments by developing better ways to collaborate and deliver valuable insights through a keen understanding of data.

4. Optimizing Workplace and Workforce: Times of rapid change call for a holistic approach, including human, machine, digital and physical considerations, to empower and engage your workforce and bring value-driven outcomes.

5. Creating a Customer-Focused Culture: A keen focus on the customer and great customer service has never been more critical. Organizations must look to the future by building, or enhancing, a unique, authentic culture that allows for understanding and flexibility to meet the customer wherever they are.

“Understanding what your business needs to get through this crisis today, while keeping a critical eye to the future, is essential right now,” said Point B President of Consulting Brian Turner. “These five business areas are ones that will help organizations meet current critical needs and prepare for what may come tomorrow.”

Bloomfire Launches COVID-19 Knowledge Base to Make CDC Updates Easy to Navigate


Knowledge engagement company Bloomfire announced today that they have used their platform to create a public knowledge base that centralizes trusted information about the COVID-19 virus. The knowledge base includes recommendations for reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19, answers to questions about traveling during the pandemic, steps to take if sick with the coronavirus, and more.

Visitors can perform keyword searches and use filters to quickly find COVID-19 information, all of which is sourced directly from the website of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Bloomfire deep indexes all the content in the knowledge base so that everything is searchable—not just the titles of articles.

“There’s been an onslaught of news and public health recommendations surrounding COVID-19,” says Mark Hammer, CEO of Bloomfire. “And because there’s a lot that’s still unknown about the novel coronavirus, it can be challenging to know what information is reliable. Our goal in creating a COVID-19 knowledge base was to consolidate the information provided by a trusted source—the CDC—and make it simple for people to quickly jump to the information they need through a simple search.”

Bloomfire’s platform is designed to work for both internal (company-only) and external (public-facing) audiences. The COVID-19 knowledge base is a public-facing example of the platform, but many of Bloomfire’s customers use the platform internally to share information and keep their employees aligned. This is especially crucial now, as many employees are working remotely to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

Bloomfire plans to continue updating their COVID-19 knowledge base with the latest information from the CDC throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Visitors can access the knowledge base at https://covid-19.bloomfire.com/.

Bloomfire is the leader in knowledge engagement, delivering an experience that connects teams and individuals with the information they need to excel at their jobs.
