Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

HR Forum: Driving Future Success Through Team Leadership Capability and Effectiveness
Greetings ITAC HR Forum Members:
The next ITAC HR Forum meeting is Tuesday, March 19th, hosted by HP Canada in Mississauga. Please mark your calendars accordingly!
An organization's capacity to develop effective leaders is recognized as one of the most important factors in achieving competitive advantage and profitability. However, recent estimates suggest that over 70% of organizations feel that their leaders do not have the capabilities necessary for future success. This leadership gap is critical.
The business environment today is complex and places increased expectations and demands on leaders. Many of today's IT organizations face the challenges of operating in global, matrixed and virtual environments, where the pace of change is rapid. This necessitates an increased need for team collaboration across function and geography. This environment requires a leader specifically skilled at leading teams.
Join us for an interactive session focused on how you can build leadership capacity for the future in a way that is meaningful, efficient and effective. This session will include: (1) an experiential activity designed to help you recognize the challenges of leadership; (2) a discussion around best practices in leadership development and specifically team leadership; and (3) a breakout group activity designed to help you consolidate and apply the principles discussed.
