StrategyDriven Contributor Agreement

StrategyDriven is dedicated to providing executives and managers with tools and techniques they can use to increase their organization’s alignment and accountability for the achievement of superior results. Our website is designed to be interactive in nature, allowing members to share their thoughts and insights with one another. While all members can submit follow-on comments to posted articles and/or periodically author articles, StrategyDriven Contributors represent a special group of members who routinely author articles published on the StrategyDriven website.

The following guidelines govern submission of Contributor articles for publication on the StrategyDriven website. These guidelines are intended to be flexible as we want to work with our Contributors to make sure their submissions are valuable to them as well as to our community. For the purpose of these guidelines, the StrategyDriven refers to the StrategyDriven website (www.StrategyDriven.com) and all associated content.

Difference between Members and Contributors

Any StrategyDriven member may submit follow-on comments to published articles and/or articles for publication consistent with the StrategyDriven Contributor Guidelines. Follow-on comments are subject to moderation and articles to review to ensure compliance with StrategyDriven’s editorial standards.

Contributors are a special group of StrategyDriven members who routinely submit articles for publication on the StrategyDriven website. They are experienced management professionals with solid written and/or verbal communication skills. Contributors agree to provide a steady and reliable stream of content relevant to StrategyDriven’s focus on strategic business planning and tactical execution.

Content Submission

Content submissions should be the Contributor’s original work with proper citations as applicable. Submit Microsoft® Word or text formatted articles, including graphics and/or pictures as applicable, to Editor@StrategyDriven.com.

Topics and Length

StrategyDriven Contributor content should provide executives and managers useful information related to strategic business planning and tactical execution. Contributions need not be directly associated with an existing StrategyDriven topic group and new topic groups may be created for relevant content. We do not typically accept press releases or promotional material except on a case-by-case basis when such information is of general interest and use to our target audience. Articles should be approximately 300 words or more in length. Images and hyperlinks are supported.

Copyright

StrategyDriven Contributors retain copyright for all original submissions. Contributors grant StrategyDriven the rights to publish, in perpetuity, any submitted material for reading, download, or other use by any visitor to the StrategyDriven website. The Contributor certifies to StrategyDriven that their submission is original and that they have not violated any copyrights.

Editorial Rights

StrategyDriven’s editorial staff reserves the right to edit for length, clarity, and/or readability any article submitted for publication. The Contributor will be contacted regarding any changes prior to publication. We will not publish any article without the Contributor’s final approval. Our editorial staff will make the final decision on when and where any article will be published.

Recognition and Promotional Opportunities

StrategyDriven Contributors will receive recognition and promotion in the following manner:

1. All content submissions will contain a brief Contributor biographical sketch and link back to the Contributor’s biographical webpage.
2. All Contributors will be afforded a biographical webpage on the StrategyDriven website. This biographical webpage may contain the Contributor’s name, position, company name, StrategyDriven Contributor title, photo (edited with the StrategyDriven background), background information, and link to the Contributor’s LinkedIn profile.
3. Welcome article highlighting the Contributor’s background published on the StrategyDriven website.
4. Added to the list of StrategyDriven Contributors located in the footer of every StrategyDriven webpage.
5. A StrategyDriven email account with automatic forwarding to the Contributor’s personal/business email account.
6. Contributor content will be highlighted in the monthly StrategyDriven Newsletter.

StrategyDriven Contributors will receive title recognition based on the annual quantity of content submitted as follows:

• Contributor : 4 submissions annually (approximately once per quarter)
• Senior Contributor : 12 submissions annually (approximately once per month)
• Principal Contributor : 24 submissions annual (approximately twice per month)

Note: Recognition and promotional opportunity 1 applies to all content submissions. Opportunities 2 through 6 begin once the Contributor status has been achieved. Additional recognition and promotional opportunities such as acknowledgment or participation on the StrategyDriven may be available from time to time. All recognition and promotional offerings are optional and at the discretion of the Contributor.

Termination of the StrategyDriven Contributor Role

Either the Contributor or StrategyDriven can terminate this relationship at any time and for any reason. The Contributor will continue to own the copyright for submitted content. All published content will remain, at our discretion, a part of the StrategyDriven website.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the StrategyDriven Contributor Guidelines, please contact Karen Juliano, Editor-in-Chief and Director, Communications and Marketing at KarenJuliano@StrategyDriven.com.
