dealing with a crisis and the return to normalcy
SOLUTION: OPTIMIZE EVERY DECISION
As the world faces new challenges of catastrophic dimension, the need to make the right decision, in a timely manner, when facing situations marred with uncertainty, becomes ever more essential. The alternative is not an option. The solution pivots around an innovative decision technology with humanlike intelligence, capable of :
TRADEOFF BASED DECISIONS
Optimizing the decision by trading off conflicting factors (e.g. a decision to quarantine a population will negatively impact the economy while reducing the health risks. Balancing these two conflicting elements yields the optimal solution).
UNCERTAINTY
AND LACK OF INFO
Operating with small or incomplete data sets that are associated with various level of uncertainty
SCARCE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Integrating people, processes, economical impacts and managing scarce resources
PRODUCT
DECISION PLATFORM with HUMANLIKE INTELLIGENCE
Our technology breakthrough enables a five prong approach to tackle the problem:
A platform to optimize EVERY decision: Whether deciding on the course of action such as a
choice between issuing a “shelter in place” command or directing the population to gather at key centers, we can optimize the decision by taking into account all factors involved and trade them off (or expressing their relative importance) in a dynamic manner as the data materializes and crystallizes. The decision solution takes into account the level of confidence in the data and operates when data is incomplete. The decisions change dynamically as new data is captured or as the importance of influencing factor are modified.
A more efficient use and allocation of the existing (scarce) resources: This is achieved by a better allocation and distribution of the existing resources across the various projects. The optimization tools suggested will take into account the knowledge, skills and experience of the employee population and trade them off against the various requirements for each project. For example, when facing a decision related to triage, the system recommends the order in which patients gets treated in order to optimize the use of the doctors and maximize the value for the community.
Capture, retention and sharing expert’s knowledge: Experts knowledge that is required foo make a decision is captured and shared. By doing so organizations achieve two major benefits;
(i) they raise the level of expertise of the entire organization to that of the expert while reducing the training needs to build up a smarter employee population, and
(ii) by storing the expert’s knowledge in the system, organization will not be depleted of this critical asset as their experts depart the organization or retire.
Planning, acquisition, assessment, and development of talent: The third prong is to leverage state-of-the art technology to better assess the needs of an organization, acquire the right type of skills and accelerate their development process so organizations are “up and running” right off the bat.
Work prioritization: As resources shrink and the amount of work increases, it becomes paramount to prioritize the tasks or projects at stake. This is done by understanding the overall goal, and trading off the various elements that affect the ability to achieve the set objectives.
USE CASES
Whattype of problems do we address?

What solution is the least “painful humanly and economically” and yields the highest overall value to society?
Who should be saved first? (Triage)
What route should the doctor take to optimize the overall objective.
How can we optimize the use of our scarce resources such as first responders, nurses, medical equipment, etc.?
