A Vision of Canada – Global Excellence
Panel Session

The new, emerging reality for Canadian companies can be best described as the challenge of change. Increased global competition; more demanding customers; rapid advances in technology and an array of economic storms including a volatile currency, are redefining the industry.

Customers today need more than point solutions. Manufacturers can’t just make things; transportation companies can’t just ship things, and distributors can’t just stock things - it’s an entire business system encompassing marketing, engineering, design, logistics and customer service that define success. Today it’s all about providing solutions that meet the challenges of your customers.

Our panel of experts drawn from manufacturing, transportation, logistics, and distribution will discuss how the Canadian landscape has changed, what’s needed to stay competitive and how we can become world class organizations that can compete with the best both here and abroad.

Panelists: Dave Luton, Columnist - MM&D Magazine
Jeff Brownlee, Vice President Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters and
Publisher of 20/20 Magazine
Bob Armstrong, President - SCL Canada
Moderator: Jeff Lem, President, qdata
