NORTHPOINT HISTORY

NorthPoint was founded in 1992 with the mission to develop a new and better concept of assessing how well organizations are really performing and identifying current and future risks and opportunities that could impact performance.  The idea was to use software for speed and a database for analytics.  The concept for enterprise assessment and performance measurement software-based tools to be predictive and prescriptive about risks/opportunities to enable performance optimization were developed from the initial research into the performance of 800+ commercial, not for profit and technology investments in the public and private sectors.  This led to the development of the first software-based tool and supporting database that required over 2 years of research with MIT, Vanderbilt and Stanford.

Based on additional research, 26 software-based tools have been developed and used at companies globally to identify the value opportunities and risk inherent in companies, projects and products.  Additionally, we have teamed with several universities to incorporate the concepts and tools into their curriculum.
