Canada’s Workforce in Transition: How AI is Shaping the Future of Work
November 25, 2025 • Virtual
James Lanningan, Research Associate, Signal49 Research
This webinar explored how artificial intelligence is not only automating routine tasks but also fundamentally transforming high-skill, cognitive roles across Canada’s labour market. Drawing on new data, James revealed that 57 per cent of workers are in roles at risk of AI-driven disruption—and pinpoint the skills and tasks most affected. This session delved beyond surface-level analysis to provide forward-looking insights into how organizations can rethink their strategies, reshape talent planning, and prepare for evolving skill demands.

The Power of Perception and Public Opinion
September 16, 2025 • Virtual
David Coletto, Founder, Abacus Data
David Coletto, is one of Canada’s most influential voices in politics. Drawing on decades of research experience, David explored how shifting mindsets—from scarcity to precarity—are reshaping expectations, trust, and how people engage with institutions. In a time of deep uncertainty, leaders need more than intuition—they need insight. As one observer put it: “When David releases a poll, Ottawa listens.” This session was designed to help you understand why—and how to apply it.
