Gone are the days when individuals could operate as isolated islands of productivity. The challenges and opportunities of the modern business world are far too complex for any single group or individual to shoulder alone. \nEffective cross-team collaboration dismantles barriers\, facilitating a fluid exchange of ideas and information among different departments and individuals. A more collaborative approach not only enhances problem-solving capabilities and creativity but also cultivates an environment of inclusivity and mutual respect. By harnessing diverse skills and viewpoints\, research agencies\, regardless of their size\, can swiftly respond to market shifts\, uncover opportunities\, and sustain a competitive edge. \nGiselle Kovary will lead off this workshop by highlighting the best practices for increasing cross-team collaboration.  She will then facilitate group discussions where participating CEOs will be able to share their ideas on how agencies in our industry can improve performance and optimize innovation through collaboration. \n  \n1pm- 2pm The AI Imperative for Insight CEOs  \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to be a catalyst for unprecedented innovation in our industry.  In fact\, a survey of Canadian Insights Executives conducted by Leger for the CRIC earlier this year found that AI Implementation was a top priority amidst revenue concerns\, cost management\, and economic uncertainty.  In this session\, CRIC’s CEO will share key insights from this survey.  Jason Zweig\, Manager Partner and Vice President\, Canadian Viewpoint and Chair of the CRIC AI Committee will then highlight some of the initiatives of the CRIC AI Committee.  CEOs in attendance will then engage in breakout sessions to discuss and share how our industry must responsibly embrace AI. \n2pm – 3pm Addressing the Threat to Data Quality \nThe threats to data quality are global in nature and the solutions require a global effort.  That is why the Canadian Research Insights Council is part of the Global Data Quality Initiative (GDQ)\, working with leading associations around the globe to champion global data quality.  In this session\, we will explore efforts from Canada and other GDQ to address the threat.  The session will end with a breakout session to identify additional opportunities for Canada to contribute to addressing the threats to data quality. \n3pm – 3:15pm Afternoon Networking Break \n3:15pm – 4:15pm Advocacy Priorities \nFacilitated by Greg Jodouin\, President PACE Public Affairs & Community Engagement and John Tabone\, CEO of CRIC. \nIn this session\, Greg Jodouin and John Tabone will provide a brief update on key Government Relation and advocacy topics including an update on the status of the proposed new federal privacy and AI legislation\, call blocking/labeling\, gig economy legislation and more.  CEOs will then be invited to discuss and share their ideas on additional advocacy priorities from CRIC. \n4:15pm – 4:30pm – Concluding comments\n			\n				Register
