What’s With This Slowdown?

It’s impossible to turn on the news these days without hearing about trade wars, market volatility and the global economic slowdown. Naturally, this is concerning for Canadian companies that may be unsure of whether to go forward with their growth plans or hold back until the dust settles. In this five-part podcast, we will explore the causes of the slowdown and share stories, advice and ideas on what Canadian companies can do to stay competitive and get ahead of the pack. While businesses may feel like it’s time to retreat, if anything they should be taking the opposite track and look for ways to activate their business: investing when interest rates are low, expanding when others are holding back, testing new ideas that could move the needle and more. We look at how companies can disrupt the bear market. To learn more about how your company can stay ahead of the curve, visit deloitte.ca/disruptthebear now. *Aussi disponible en français*
