Organizations are facing greater disruption and uncertainty than ever before. In recent years, we’ve faced several unprecedented large-scale events—from a global pandemic to destructive weather events, international conflicts, and technological transformation. In particular, four global disruptions are significantly impacting life in Canada: the talent transformation, the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, the race to net zero, and geopolitical uncertainty. These forces are deeply intertwined and work together to compound growing uncertainty.     Deloitte's Future of Canada Centre released a report detailing these global disruptions and offering strategies for tackling them to build a stronger future. The report, Global disruptions in 4D: Exploring intersecting forces impacting Canada’s future, emphasizes the importance of addressing complex issues with sophisticated responses.     The report notes that disruptive forces don't exist in isolation, echoing my recent conversation with Stephen Poloz (https://lnkd.in/gApTjhqE) who encouraged leaders to address crises comprehensively. As Stephen highlighted, the point at which these global disruptions intersect is where the greatest challenges and opportunities lie.      For example, capitalizing on the AI revolution requires equipping workers with the skills to use AI effectively. The report finds that 48 per cent of Canadian business leaders feel their employees are not prepared or are barely prepared to use AI, while only five per cent say their workers are “very prepared.” Organizations can address this shortcoming by undertaking a comprehensive assessment to identify skills gaps, and then tailor their upskilling approach to each employee’s needs through AI-driven adaptive learning.     While global disruptions stir up feelings of uncertainty, Canada is well-positioned to lead and thrive amid these disruptions. With one of the most highly educated workforces of the G7 nations, and the tools to secure a critical spot on the global supply chain for AI and net-zero resources, we are equipped to address uncertainty and turn challenges into opportunities.     To learn more about the intersecting global disruptions impacting Canada and how businesses and governments can address them, download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/g8qca_-4

First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have always nurtured a deep and reciprocal bond with the land, drawing life and wisdom from it while offering care and protection in return. But current environmental realities have affected Indigenous youth and their communities more deeply than others, and they have something to say. Our new report amplifies their urgent call to ground efforts in healing the planet by applying Indigenous ways of knowing and through collective and cooperative action. To protect and restore the land, we must first mend our relationship with it and each other. The fourth volume in our Voices of Indigenous youth leaders on reconciliation series offers practical recommendations for holistic environmental reconciliation. Its insights can help corporate, government, and environmental decision-makers to integrate Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into boardroom strategies and support Indigenous-led climate action. It's time to listen, learn, and act together.

A recent report by Deloitte Canada reveals that 74% of Canadians plan to travel domestically this summer, with an average expenditure of $2,405 on transportation and lodging. This surge in local travel reflects a strong desire to make up for missed travel opportunities, driven by a preference for sustainable and local experiences. Despite economic uncertainties, Canadians are prioritizing their vacations, focusing on destinations within their own country. Gen Z and Millennials are also the most supportive of sustainable and regenerative tourism, seeking environmentally sustainable travel options like low carbon footprints, renewable energy sources, and EV charging stations. They are willing to pay more for such experiences. Read the full article👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/eRUsKhGM
