Abstract deadline: April 12, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown our world into a state of unprecedented turmoil. Governments have insisted that businesses instruct their employees to work from home, hoping to contain the virus while triggering as little business disruption as possible. Predictably, this "new normal" has brought unique adjustment challenges for employers and employees alike.

We technologists and business leaders must look into our toolboxes for help. What strategies and/or technologies can we adopt to conduct productive distributed team meetings or to facilitate online learning? How can businesses ride out a pandemic with minimal cost cutting measures? How can we enable and maintain positive customer relationships?

An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal with Guest Editor Dr. Steve Andriole

http://www.cutter.com/experts/steve-andriole

, a Cutter Consortium Fellow and Professor of Business Technology at Villanova University, will address the priorities technology and business leaders should focus on to conscientiously manage the impact of a pandemic on their business and workforce. We welcome your insight on any, or a combination of, the following discussion points.

What strategies, practices, collaboration tools, and technologies can be leveraged during a crisis to:

Transition your workforce successfully from on-site to remote environments

Effectively manage employees and distributed teams remotely

Inspire employees to stay motivated, engaged, and productive; strengthen company culture; ensure transparency and open communications

Ensure the provision of IT/infrastructure support

Ensure compliance with data privacy/security practices with an increase in remote platform/device usage

Other article ideas might include:

How can relationships, connections, and communications with customers be maintained? How can a consistent customer experience be provided?

How can you safeguard the continuity of business operations during a crisis?

How can you prepare and adjust for business fluctuations/disruptions?

How can costs be optimized and business valued delivered?

If necessary, what cost saving/reduction measures can be implemented with minimal disruption?

What creative measures can be taken to avoid layoffs (to preserve company morale and ensure sufficient resources exist to resume operations post-crisis)?

How might business continuity plans be modified to ensure preparation for the next crisis?

What lessons can be learned from a crisis and applied to future business models/operating practices? How can business resilience be improved?

Abstract submissions due April 12 2020. Please send article ideas (short paragraph outlining major discussion points) to Steve Andriole and Christine Generali .

Accepted articles due May 8, 2020 . Final article length is typically 2,000-3,500 words plus graphics. More editorial guidelines
