Call for Papers —The Noësis: MWildhorse Strategy and Performance Magazine

Deadline: April 15, 2018

springcover2018sampleIn a world where the language of business expands almost daily and growth-related concepts can be tough to understand The Noësis aims to bring understanding and simplicity —disambiguation.

Its content will facilitate understanding of tough business and development concepts while accelerating the learning of industry language and how-to; and will help organizations and entrepreneurs get more out of their investment in consulting solutions. Practitioners and consultants can expect content that will help them to improve their craft.

It does this by highlighting successful Caribbean and Canadian entrepreneurs, research findings, issues, trends, companies, stories, commentaries, book reviews and entertainment pieces.  Articles and stories focus on growth related topics such as strategy, marketing, trade, performance management and measurement, intellectual property and the creative industries.

The publication is a hybrid Magazine/Professional Journal geared towards C-level executives, entrepreneurs, researchers, practitioners and consultants with an interest in strategy, marketing, evaluation, organizational assessments, international trade, entrepreneurship and international development. And will be circulated to senior executives, business owners and libraries.

The new Canadian-Caribbean Magazine is the only business magazine designed to promote the culture of Caribbean entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship as a desirable, feasible and viable economic activity for Caribbean immigrants in Canada and other diasporic markets of the Caribbean.

We want to see the growth of high performing Caribbean businesses in all major Diaspora markets. We want to see the Caribbean culture of entrepreneurship and its entrepreneurial DNA deliver significant impact to entrepreneurs and the markets in which the businesses call home— as well as those they serve.

Hence, we provide information, stimulate debate, share research, cases and stories for ensuring organizational leaders and team have the necessary information for strategy success in starting and growing their businesses.  We want to see greater impact from international development initiatives especially in ACP Countries; therefore, we will address those issues and explore solutions.

The Noësis: MWildhorse Strategy and Performance Magazine

In 2016, we decided to take our client learning digest to you in the form of a hybrid Magazine/Professional Journal— The Noësis: MWildhorse Strategy and Performance Magazine.

Some of you are familiar with The Noësis, the brainchild of Meegan Scott. A publication first released in 2013 as a learning aide for ensuring our clients fully understand, appreciate and leverage their consulting solutions.

springcover2018sampleIn 2018, we present to you a magazine with the same themes and two additional objectives.  The publication maintains its purpose to simplify and facilitate understanding of tough business and development concepts while accelerating the learning of industry language and how-to.

It does this through its content—showcasing of successful Caribbean and Canadian entrepreneurs, research findings, issues, trends, companies, stories, commentaries, book reviews and entertainment pieces.  Articles and stories focus on growth related topics such as strategy, marketing, trade, performance management and measurement, intellectual property and the creative industries.

The new Magazine is the only business magazine designed to promote the culture of Caribbean entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship as a desirable, feasible and viable economic activity for Caribbean immigrants in Canada and other diasporic markets of the Caribbean.

Providing a forum for awakening desire, driving aspiration and moving significantly more Caribbean immigrants to answer the call of entrepreneurship— is a new objective for the publication.  We want to see the growth of high performing Caribbean businesses in all major Diaspora markets. We want to see the Caribbean culture of entrepreneurship and its entrepreneurial DNA deliver significant impact to entrepreneurs and the markets in which the businesses call home— as well as those they serve.

Hence, we will provide information, stimulate debate, share research and stories for ensuring you have the necessary information for strategy success in starting and growing your businesses.  We want to see greater impact from international development initiatives especially in ACP Countries; therefore, we will address those issues and explore solutions.

Towards that end we are providing a forum through which emerging and seasoned researchers, consultants and practitioners in Canada, ACP Countries, the Caribbean and its Diaspora can share the findings of their research, connect with entrepreneurs and issues facing organizational leaders and their teams both within and external to the Caribbean community. That commitment unveiled the second of your new objectives.

What motivated me to upgrade and expand “The Noësis: MWildhorse Strategy and Learning Digest” to the current The Noësis: MWildhorse Strategy and Performance Magazine?

Learnings from our consulting engagements, discussions with entrepreneurs, lived experience as a Caribbean-Canadian entrepreneur and research into our performance as entrepreneurs in Canada and other Diaspora markets.

I take this opportunity to invite you to submit original research notes, opinions, technical reports, articles, anecdotes,cartoons, and stories (Both of triumph and failures).

The Magazine is sponsored by Magate Wildhorse Ltd., but will allow for limited advertising by one or two brands per issue.

The success of this publication and its objective depends on your response and actions.  We are committed to updating The Noësis based on your needs and feedback.

Thank you for your feedback and subscriptions.
