Advancing Canada's Competitive Advantage – A national forum on management

The National Forum on Management is a unique moment for reflection and exchange and we want it to last and radiate beyond the event itself. In order to do this, we are posting the complete version of some of the conferences in video format. To watch the videos click here.

You have attended one of the forum’s sessions and you would like to have access to a PowerPoint presentation? Be aware that the slideshows are now available online. If you cannot see the downloading link “[slideshow]” next to a speaker’s title, this means that we are not allowed to make them public.
