Insightful Thinking: great ideas by great minds
Deloitte held an internal “Insightful thinking” contest that invited our Canadian practitioners to submit papers about innovative solutions to business issues. This resulted in an incredible array of thought-provoking leadership papers that will help organizations tackle major issues affecting multiple industry sectors. Many of Deloitte’s brightest minds from our Financial advisory, Enterprise risk and Consulting practices worked together to create a wide range of unique perspectives on topics like funding for higher educational institutions, governments in deficit, strengthening food safety, and more.
Let us share our ideas with you. Read the winning papers and watch the video.
The video: John Wang (Senior manager, Deloitte) asks some of the authors tough questions about major issues organizations face on a daily basis. What can companies do to ensure the safety of food supply? How can governments escape massive deficits fuelled by the recession? Other topics include funding for higher education, achieving a speedy post-merger integration, translating sustainability initiatives into economic value, and more.
