This is quite possibly the most absurd and comically pointless article I’ve ever seen. It pretty much speaks for itself:
Act now to minimise impact of bird flu on businessCompanies should take practical steps to minimise the impact of any potential bird flu pandemic on their business, analysts have warned.
Organisations should not wait until an outbreak strikes to take action, since they might have very little time to prepare, according to IT research firm Gartner.
A pandemic could limit travel, disrupt supply chains and hit staff attendance, causing an overall business slowdown. But simple preparation would help employers respond quickly and effectively.
Gartner suggests companies take the following steps to protect their operations in the event of a pandemic:
- keep staff informed
- Assess contingency plans
- Put someone in charge
- Help staff work from home
- Establish an online presence
The bullet list of recommendations are the best part. Quick! Establish an online presence in case of bird flu! For the love of God, establish!
Now that is great article. I think you could get some opporunity with this article. You should start marketing yourself as a consultant to help companies setup a proper response to the possible bird flu pandemic. After all you could point to “leading research firms” are recommending that companies have a specific plan in place to handle this situation.
Thanks for the laugh…it reminds of a Dilbert cartoon. Tell Ger and the family I said Hi!
