And now comes the hard part. As the acute phase of the COVID-19 crisis slowly winds down across Canada and business begins to return to normal—albeit very slowly in provinces such as Ontario—leaders are finally able to take a deep breath, survey the financial damage and prepare for the post-pandemic recovery. Others may conduct the […]
What will the new normal be? That’s the question businesses across Canada and around the world are trying to answer as governments lift restrictions put in place to help limit the spread of COVID-19. With companies eagerly reopening retail locations, ramping up production at manufacturing facilities and re-energizing their offices, it’s critical for leaders to […]
Thank goodness for the so-called ‘unicorns’ of the knowledge economy. They’re the ones powering innovation, transforming markets—or creating entirely new ones—and helping their CEOs become ultra-wealthy rock star business luminaries along the way.

As the summer winds down, we’ve been treated to the usual mix of sun, warm weather and, hopefully for most of us, a week or two of vacation.
