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?
