Remember back in high school and conducting chemistry experiments? It was exciting, thrilling, and let's be honest - a bit scary. I always felt a sense of fulfillment and some relief whenever we finished! We discovered new things, unpacked solutions and of course, had fun with our classmates.
Our #COLive episode 6 is all about experiments and exploration. But this time, we won't be mixing red and blue liquids together... we are talking about business experiments.
Live streaming on November 17th, 3 p.m. EST Debra Pickfield, Principal of THiNKSPOT Burlington and Jean Letourneau, President & CEO of SBVCG Inc. will put on explorer hats.

Hope to see you in the Corner Office!

Introducing Corner Office Live #6: Experiment No. 1
Like most people I have been following the EU debt worries, specifically the call, by the former Greek Prime Minister Papandreou, for the now defunct Greek Referendum and the Occupy movement. There are three points that I observed from watching these stories unfold.
First, they are experiments exploring solutions to some tough issues
Next, with experiments we don't always know the outcomes
And finally, experiments require us to give up control
Case in point, (in my opinion) Prime Minister Papandreou called a referendum because he wanted to hear from citizens their thoughts on the financial issues they are facing. EU Leadership thought this didn't fit into the discussed plan and encouraged him to shut it down. And while we sympathize with the people in the neighbourhoods where the Occupied are sitting and with the Occupiers, the point recently made by the London Ontario police, when they arrived in the middle of the night to remove tents and Occupiers' belongings, is that local politicians don't know what outcomes will develop and are concerned it will get out of control. Therefore they thought it best to shut it down. In my opinion.
Side bar: None of these reactions have contributed to or produced a viable solution.
