Disrupting the bear, a podcast by Deloitte


Nov 26, 2019

In episode 3, we look at the untapped opportunities during times of uncertainty. With 75 percent of Canadian exports going to the United States, it’s natural for companies to want to expand south. But we live in a big world and there are plenty of growth avenues that many Canadian companies haven’t explored. For instance, we’re doing more trade with Europe, China is expanding, despite what may be happening there now, and many sectors could use Canadian expertise. This episode looks at the many opportunities that Canadian companies should consider.

 

Jennifer Lee, Deloitte’s managing partner for growth platforms, evaluates the industries and sectors that perform well in a downturn and Janet Bannister, the founder of Kijiji and now a partner with Real Ventures, shares her story of success through the last recession.
