What is the publication process?
Every publication typically follows the following five steps:
Share Your Draft or Idea
Summarize your work or your idea as you see fit. If you have a full presentation as a starting point – fantastic! But if you simply have an idea and are looking for co-authors, it’s a fantastic starting point as well! Review your inputs, package your material and send to UNITE@digitalleadership.com.

Develop & iterate with peer support
Fully develop your core idea or inputs into a full model, tool, framework or approach.
Depending on the maturity of your contribution, you will work more or less deeply with peers and fellow authors, and receive constructive feedback to improve your work.
Fully document your contribution
By this time, your core idea should be well defined and peer-reviewed. Now it’s time to fully document your contribution in a presentation including the required supportive documentation, so it can stand on it’s own feet.
Applying visual design magic
Good design matters. Any publication will receive design support so it becomes a truly high-quality presentation. As part of the final publication, you may introduce yourself as well as appropriately present your organization and it’s services.
publication!
After last reviews, your original work will be published and thus will be available and shared with the global community!
