Leaning into the wind Annual Report 7 - November 2008
As Ontario and the rest of the world head into significant economic headwinds, Ontarians need to address our current challenges, through belt tightening and retreating from initiatives that are not working. But, this is not the time for attitudes that encourage insularity and the preservation of the status quo. Investing in Ontario’s future prosperity has to be an important part of our reaction to the current economic climate. This is the key conclusion from the Seventh Annual Report, Leaning into the wind, released today by the Task Force on Competitiveness, Productivity and Economic Progress at the Canadian Business Outlook 2009 Conference.
The Task Force, a group of industry and academic leaders, chaired by Roger Martin, Dean of the Rotman School of Management, was established in 2001 to stimulate businesses, governments, educational institutions, and individuals to increase the pace of innovation and competitiveness. That will ensure a continuing increase in our standard of living.
