High-summer issue of Global Voice magazine
Global Voice #14
The Rise of the New Normal
June 21st 2020
Welcome to the high-summer 2020 issue of the Council on Business & Society’s Global Voice magazine #14 The New Normal. As is tradition for the June issue of Global Voice magazine, we bring together the research and opinion from both faculty and students from the schools in the alliance.
Dear Readers and Friends of the CoBS,
We have all been though – or are still enduring – one of the most astonishing moments of our lives and one could even say – of modern history. Global Voice #14 reflects the issues and anxieties we have faced and the major debates that have emerged as a result of the pandemic. And also offers the hope of a “New Normal” that is brighter, more equal and more understanding of our planet.
Perspective and action
Will the favouring of efficiency over effectiveness continue to shape our world as it has done for the last 40 years? Will healthcare systems finally get the investment and support they require from government and the private sector? Will a new form of globalisation settle in, where international cooperation and understanding as global citizens take precedent over the fears and distrust fuelled by populism? And will our awareness of the benefits to the environment that lockdown produced – according to the World Economic Forum, a 17% three-month drop in pollution levels worldwide – encourage us to make those difficult though necessary changes in our systems and in ourselves to help get Mother Nature back on the path to full health?
Ultimately, is it us – the thought and knowledge included in this magazine, the people behind it and you, our readers – who have the choice and the influence to build a better family of things in the coming month and years. We can do this through our mindset and behaviour. We can do it through education. We can do it through our choices as consumers. We can do it through our votes and opinion.
Look sharp, be sharp, be happy
So, pop along to the local store (not forgetting your mask) or shop online, and fit yourself out with a new set of clothes for the kind of world you’d like to see. A snappy set of togs to wear for a world of equality between women and men, inclusiveness at work and in society for both the able and disabled whatever our colour and culture, health of mind and fulfilment in our jobs, leadership and business practices that work for both the organisation and the wider community, and a new deal and closer relationship between people and our beautiful planet.
Enjoy reading your GV#14. And safe keeping!
