Against a very tough backdrop Co-op proves that growth in this market is not reliant on the very risky practice of increasing debt to try and win market share. Listen and look after the customers, get into the detail of costs and drive change where its needed. Co-op really is doing it different

I've been doing some reflection lately, particularly around my approaches to professional development, and I've noticed something that I believe is relevant not only to individual growth but also to the corporate environment. The main point is this: the strength of an organization like NCS really lies in its systems. Observing my own progress, I realised how much more effective my current methods for professional development are compared to my past approaches.This led me to think that success, whether for an individual or an organisation, is less about innate talent or resources and more about the systems that are in place. From my vantage point within NCS, I've seen that it's not merely about having smart engineers or consultants. The company thrives on robust systems that ensure project success, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency. These systems encompass everything from advanced project management tools and methodologies to quality assurance protocols, and even specialized consulting frameworks designed for various industries. It's these systems that enable NCS to consistently deliver, adapt to client specifications, and scale its services effectively. So, in a nutshell, systems equate to success. Whether we're discussing professional development techniques or the management of a multinational company, the underlying principles are strikingly similar.

Exciting News! I am deeply honored to announce my recent appointment to the Board of Informed Opinions. This outstanding organization works tirelessly to amplify the voices of women and gender-diverse individuals, striving for a more democratic Canada. Why Informed Opinions? 🍁 Our news media significantly influence agendas, shape policies, and guide spending. Yet, research indicates that women's voices account for less than a third in Canada's influential news sources, with particularly marginalized voices like Indigenous and racialized women, those identifying as Two-Spirit, LGBTQQIA, and many others often further sidelined. Informed Opinions aims to change this status quo by: ✅ Training women and gender-diverse individuals to share their insights broadly. ✅ Facilitating journalists' access to diverse sources for a more representative media. ✅ Continuously researching and documenting progress in Canadian media diversity. #Inclusion #antiracism #Reconciliation 🤝 I'm eager to contribute to an organization with such impactful visions and values. Together, let's pave the way for a more inclusive and democratic Canada. 🇨🇦 Faculté des sciences de l'éducation de l'Université Laval Université Laval

World Braille Day, celebrated since 2019, is observed to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication in the full realisation of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people.

For those who are responsible for planning the operations and strategic direction of their nonprofit’s board, I offer a few suggestions based on one of the boards that I serve on, Landscape Architecture Foundation. ☑️ Make at least 1 seat available to emerging leaders. Their perspective is invaluable. ☑️ Meetings in-person should be designed around spending time for breaking bread together and building relationships during which all other work is set aside for maximum and genuine attention towards each other as humans and the greater big picture mission of the organization. ☑️ Hosting online committee meetings has proven effective, because relationships are also built from f2f video interactions, as groups commit time to do actual work together with the best brains. ☑️ Spend less time on fancy presentations and presenting to each other, and more time providing valuable industry updates through conversational report outs and with data! ☑️ Focus on information mobility! Communication is a board’s key responsibility. Figure out how to mobilize the information that shows you’re paying attention to your audience’s needs and pain points. If you serve on a board or in an organization that has a board, feel free to offer additional tips from your experience 👇 More to come on this topic! #nonprofitleadership #associationmanagement #leadership #service #volunteering #makingadifference
