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.

“Team Methodologies: How to manage design Prima Donnas!”
Creativity and “out-of-the-box” thinking are excellent attributes for highly skilled and motivated individuals but managing a whole team of such people can quickly become a task more akin to herding wild cats!
But our increasingly competitive industry forces ever higher productivity and ever increasing degrees of difficulty. So are there some clear-cut winning strategies for creating and running a highly effective team? And what if your team is multicultural - and even in multiple locations?
Previously we discussed Outsourcing Designs to Low Cost Jurisdictions. So, please join us this time as we discuss how to create world class performance to justify your Ottawa design teams, take a look at some sound theory and enjoy some humorous anecdotes.
Frank Van Gool, Senior Consultant and Facilitator with Intersol, will share his knowledge of human behaviours and motivations within teams.
Eileen Speirs, VP HR for ZARLINK Semiconductor will describe her experiences of managing exceptional individuals, sometimes with surprising results, and will provide a note of real-world caution.
Please join us in Ottawa to gain better insight into a complex subject and to enjoy valuable networking time with your colleagues in an informal sharing of best industry practices.
