3 strategic shifts critical to successful digital transformation

first_imgFrom board of directors to board of visionaries From technology strategy to business strategy Digitizing certain processes can help to speed member interactions, but digitizing entire customer journeys is where financial institutions are finding the most value. What’s a customer journey? For a credit union, it’s really a member journey – the path a member goes down from discovering a product or service to actually making a purchase or taking a desired action. Boston Consulting Group recently told The Financial Brand that “one large bank redesigned its credit lending journey and cut the timeframe from application to funding in half, shaving 30 percent in costs associated with the process. Another bank tackling the same journey saved $200 million over four years.” Those are huge numbers. Ready to redesign all of your customer journeys? Not so fast. It’s better to focus on finding the journeys with the most potential for improvement and tackle them one at a time. Why? Discovering the right journeys for digital transformation takes time and resources to dig into “customer transaction histories, call center logs and online data to identify those points in the journey that are causing the most pain,” explained the Financial Brand article. I think I can, I think I canThe credit unions mentioned above have accomplished board members, sophisticated technology-focused business strategies and the solutions needed to create fully digital customer journeys. But they haven’t always been that way. In fact, prior to their digital transformation efforts, it took two to three weeks for Alliant to process just one invoice and four to five hours to do the monthly fraud reporting. By working with Hyland, an enterprise software provider, Alliant was able to take the focus away from these painstaking manual tasks and put it back on their members. So now is the time for you to shift. Shift away from thinking that digital transformation is too big for your credit union to undertake. Start believing that you can take these big ideas back to your organization and move the needle on digital transformation. Want some help? Learn more about OnBase by Hyland now. Digital transformation used to be an IT department strategy focused on process efficiency. Today, that focus is shifting to a more holistic concept of digital transformation centered on the wants, needs and expectations of credit union members. The ability to meet those needs, however, isn’t as simple as just investing in a software solution. Is your credit union ready to take on digital transformation? Here are three areas where credit unions are making strategic shifts to affect change in their organizations. Indeed, some credit unions are finding that business strategies can no longer be discussed without considering technology. Florida-based BrightStar Credit Union is one of them. The organization, which was featured in a recent article on BizTech.com, has made a huge push to bring an enhanced mobile experience to its members. With the increasing amount of consumer interactions that take place on mobile devices (Google says customers have double the interactions with brands over mobile devices than all other mediums combined), it’s not surprising that BrightStar is focusing their new customer experience strategy on mobile. “There’s only so many branch locations we can have,” BrightStar CIO Matt Meyer told BizTech. “It’s a challenge to make sure there’s always a branch right next to you — that’s impossible. But with today’s technology, I can put that branch right into your hands.” Technology strategy? Check. Business strategy? Super check. center_img From piecemeal digitization to digitizing entire customer journeys 3SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr,Rick Hiles Rick Hiles is the Credit Union Industry Team Lead at Hyland. His past 6.5 years with the company includes various roles and responsibilities within Marketing and Sales supporting Financial … Web: https://www.onbase.com/en Details According to Alliant Credit Union, a board of directors “holds management accountable while overseeing operations and ensuring a company’s executives are moving the organization in the right direction.” Alliant is one of the nation’s top 10 largest credit unions, and it has a board of directors that takes its role in setting the organization’s strategic vision seriously. Their focus on providing “state of the art, digital-based services” to their members has driven the organization to eliminate paper processing, partner in the creation of a custom fraud management solution, and utilize intelligent capture and electronic workflow to automate processes. But knowing your credit union’s vision should include digital transformation and knowing whether or not you’re equipped to move the organization forward on that path are different. If this is a murky area for your credit union, the solution may be having your board assess its own understanding and adoption of technology. With this information in hand, your credit union’s board can begin to build out a new model of leadership that weaves digital transformation into every aspect of your business plans. last_img read more

Minnesota took the lead for good courtesy of Thielen’s joint-league-leading ninth touchdown reception of the season.Minnesota had to hold off a late fourth-quarter drive by the Bears to clinch victory, a drive in which Foles exited the game after being taken down by Vikings defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo.Foles laid on the ground for a few moments as the medical staff tended to him before he was eventually carted off. Nagy has since informed the media that Foles’ leg and hip are being evaluated.Backup QB Tyler Bray came on in relief of Foles with a chance to pull off some heroics. His first pass found its way to running back Ryan Nall for a gain of 18, but Bray’s next three passes would fall incomplete, leading to a game-ending turnover on downs.Sky Sports NFL is your dedicated channel for NFL coverage through the season – featuring a host of NFL Network programming, a new weekly preview show as well as at least five games a week and NFL Redzone, you won’t miss a moment.

Researchers confirm virulence differences in E coli O157:H7 strains

No Comments

first_img The patterns have prompted researchers to questions if outbreak strain virulence varies based on the presence and expression of various Shiga toxin gene combinations. Researchers plot virulence mapTo test the hypothesis, the authors used a real-time polymerase chain reaction system to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 96 loci in 528 E coli O157:H7 strains, of which 444 were collected from Michigan patients between 2001 and 2006.  Their findings appear in an early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). They included the other strains to represent different geographic sites and collection dates. Mar 12, 2008 (CIDRAP News) – Researchers from Michigan State University have shown that genetic differences in Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains relate to virulence, confirming suspicions public health experts have had and shedding light on why patients in recent outbreaks seem to have had more severe symptoms. Finds expand knowledge, add new toolsCraig Hedberg, PhD, a food safety expert at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told CIDRAP News that the study findings are important. “There have been several lines of research over the past decade that have pointed in this direction, although this will stand as the definitive paper to carry the argument,” he said. SNP analysis may provide a useful surveillance tool for gauging the impact and progression of E coli O157:H7 illness outbreaks, Hedberg said. “Despite the small number [n = 11] of HUS cases identified, HUS patients were seven times more likely to be infected with clade 8 strains than patients from clades 1-7 combined,” the authors wrote. They estimated that the frequency of clade 8 increased significantly among the Michigan patients whose E coli O157:H7 strains were included in the study, which they said was surprising, given the overall national decrease in such infections. The study represents a continuing evolution in the understanding of E coli O157:H7, said Hedberg, who is an associate professor of environmental and occupational health. “Things start to make sense in new ways, and we can apply this new knowledge to our old data,” he said. For example, E coli O157:H7 now appears to be highly clonal, though at one time researchers thought it represented a single clone. “People didn’t think you could gain a lot from subtyping, but that proved to be shortsighted,” Hedberg said. “We’re increasingly learning that what appears to be minor differences can have huge impacts on populations,” he said of the different patterns that emerge with the clade 8 lineage. Further study is needed into why the prevalence of clade 8 is increasing and what factors enhance its virulence and promote transmission in food and water, the authors wrote. They also said a rapid, inexpensive test to identify more virulent E coli O157:H7 subtypes would help laboratories identify patients who have a greater risk of HUS. The researchers found no evidence that clade 8 recently emerged; they reported that they identified that type in clinical cases from 1984 on multiple continents. However, they wrote, “These results support the hypothesis that the clade 8 lineage has recently acquired novel factors that contribute to enhanced virulence.” The identification of a “hyperpathogenic” strain of E Coli O157:H7 probably won’t have much regulatory impact, he said. “All O157 strains will still be considered adulterants in ground beef or ready-to-eat foods,” Hedberg said. However, he added that public health officials may respond more aggressively if they know an outbreak involves a more virulent strain. Scientists have noticed a wide variation in the severity of E coli O157:H7 infections, the authors wrote. Patients struck by outbreaks in the early to mid 1990s had relatively low rates of hospitalization and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious complication that can lead to kidney failure or death. However, they pointed out that patients sickened in the 2006 spinach outbreak had high rates of hospitalization and HUS. They also noticed other virulence patterns with different E coli O157:H7 clades. For example, patients infected with clades 2 and 8 were more likely to report bloody diarrhea than were patients with clade 7 strains. Female patients were more likely to be infected with clade 7 and 8 strains, and infections in those younger than 18 were more likely to be clade 8. Upon phylogenetic analysis they found 39 SNP genotypes that differed at 20% of SNP loci and were separated into nine different clades. Each clade varied by distribution of Shiga toxin gene and by type of clinical disease. Researchers found that patients who had HUS were more likely to be infected with clade 8 strains, which they report have become more frequent over the past 5 years.

Brazilian retirement home offers ‘hugging curtain’ for safe contact

first_imgA retirement home in Brazil has come up with a creative solution to allow friends and families to enjoy personal contact with aging residents particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus: a “hugging curtain.”The large plastic curtain, installed in a retirement home in the city of Sao Paulo, allows residents on one side and visitors on the other to engage in the sort of comforting hugs that COVID-19 has made impossible for months. The curtain has pockets through which resident and visitor can insert their arms, and they are outfitted with shoulder-length black gloves for added protection. Topics : Nurses carefully disinfect the plastic curtain after each use.      “When we saw that this pandemic was going to last a long time, we had to find a safe way to let families see the residents and let the aging residents know that their loved ones are thinking of them,” said Mairo Martins, an physical therapist at the facility.For visitors, the feeling of being able to take a loved one in their arms is deeply moving, especially as the pandemic continues to rule out normal human contact.”It’s good for them, but for us too; it’s been a while since we could hug anyone,” said Murilo Meira, 51, during a visit to 90-year-old Nair da Costa Marques, who needed a nurse’s help to stand for the much-awaited hug. Sao Paulo state is Brazil’s richest and most populous state, with 46 million inhabitants, but it is also the hardest-hit by the coronavirus. There have been 172,875 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 10,581 deaths, according to the latest official tally.Brazil has registered the second-largest number of coronavirus deaths in the world, at 42,720, and of people infected (850,514), after the United States. center_img “It really feels good; I missed her so much!” 68-year-old Silvio Nagata told AFP after enjoying a long, emotional hug with his sister, Luiza Yassuko, who is 76, at a retirement home in the affluent Morumbi neighborhood.”Because of the pandemic, I wasn’t able to visit her, especially because at my age I’m also part of a high-risk group,” Nagata said.”It’s an excellent system — it’s great to be able to take her in my arms,” said Nagata, a retired civil servant.”There were 12 of us brothers and sisters, and she was practically a mother to me,” he went on. “She didn’t get married so she could take care of us.”last_img read more
