Description

As part of Small Business Week, join us for a special one-hour session with our Chief Economist Stephen Tapp and BDC’s Chief Economist Pierre Cléroux, as they discuss how data can help small business owners make better decisions and improve their performance.

Using our Business Data Lab’s latest outcomes and BDC’s recent data analytics, this session will focus on how data can reinforce entrepreneurs’ abilities to recover and grow their businesses by:

Predicting and identifying important trends and opportunities to remain ahead of their competition by forecasting consumer behaviours and market conditions.
Providing a unique and timely blend of data sources and value-added insights that can place SMEs at the leading edge of economic analysis rather than waiting for traditional data releases.

Our guest speakers will be joined by business owners from sectors that have been heavily affected by the pandemic to hear how they used data to pivot to survive. We will also host a post-discussion Q & A session with participants.
