Biznology is focused on a range of topics that are top of mind for 21st century leaders dedicated to improving, changing and ultimately transforming their organizations for the future.
From post-pandemic remote work policies, employee safety, engagement and productivity, to increased competition and changes to the global supply chain, the digitization of organizations, issues surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion, climate change, and a new sense of social and moral purpose, Biznology is dedicated to providing the most valuable content possible for leaders on the reset of our economy and society.
We welcome contributions on these and related topics. These guidelines are meant to help you align with our editorial focus and standards. Please read them before submitting your article to editor@biznology.com.
Our primary content categories are:
- The Great Reset: Inspired by the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset initiative, we examine the impact of the political, economic and social disruptions that have come to light during the COVID-19 pandemic on business decision-making. From considerations around financial structures, social issues, DE&I and ESG, leaders are facing new important challenges. We have a unique opportunity to reflect on how we can improve, re-think, and reshape global business, economy, and society.
- 21st Century Leadership: 21st century leaders need new skills and a new mindset in order to achieve this new vision. Successful leaders are characterized not by command and control, top-down authority, or a winner-takes-all attitude, but by empathy, honesty, integrity, trust, transparency, collaboration, empowerment, and a willingness to embrace true diversity. Leaders must continuously learn and think in new ways and from new perspectives, infused with a spirit of entrepreneurialism, creativity and innovation.
- Change & Transformation: How can we use this Great Reset to improve work, productivity, marketing, and leadership?
- Our Digital Future: 2020 highlighted the crucial importance of digital technologies in our lives. Every organization is a digital organization, and both our personal and professional lives increasingly depend on digital technologies. We’ll focus on emerging technologies and their importance to business: from digital sales and marketing to the digital customer experience to new digital products, we’ll explore the growing importance of cyber security, data, technology innovation and the impacts of living in an increasingly digital world, including the importance of ethics in decison-making about our use of technology.
- Networks & Communities: 2020 also highlighted the importance of social networks, online communities, and collaboration platforms. We’ll look at the good, the bad and the ugly of social technologies, social media, social networks and their increasing importance to and impact on business and society.
