After several boom years, today’s corporate leaders are facing new realities. How many companies have blamed poor results on September 11? Canada’s corporate leaders must be part of the solution, not part of the problem. As President of Microsoft Canada Co., Clegg is a key player in a corporation that has expanded its commitment to R&D and launched three major products during difficult economic times. He is well qualified to speak to the importance of not giving in to escalating fears of economic uncertainty, and the need to focus on rebuilding Canadian business and consumer confidence.
Clegg will discuss how business leaders need to look realistically at Canada’s enduring economic strengths and fundamentals, refocusing on the ever growing potential of information technology, and redoubling efforts to use IT to make business practices more effective. Working together with governments, business leaders can rebuild consumer confidence by embracing innovation.
