BWA Newsletter – Economist Forecast & Leadership Skills

  • June 5, 2020
  • Ryan Tabone
  • BWA Central, News, Past Events

BWA takes a high-level look at economic activity and launches a 12-part Leadership Series and continues with Online Sales Training!

Forecasting economic activity is part science and an art form. It aids in strategic planning in business operations, finances, and development. Stepping outside the sphere of such a tumultuous economy can help us see the bigger picture. On May 27th, the BWA brought in EDC’s Deputy Chief Economist, Stephen Tapp, to present on the Global Economic Outlook.Click here to access the event recordingWATCH THE EVENT AGAIN BY CLICKING ABOVE!

Using many economic data sets including our current state of global trade Tapp presented various scenarios of outcomes Canadian wood manufacturers can anticipate, including GDP recovery scenarios, manufacturing trends leading up to COVID, historical economic shocks, and the positives and negatives that come from those shocks.

“my estimates are 3 million Canadians are forced to work from home…[with our real-time data] it’s not obvious to me we have hit rock bottom yet” – Stephen Tapp, Deputy Chief Economist, EDC

Tapp also provided a data analysis as to whether we have hit the bottom of the economy and discussed opportunities arising from our changing economy.

Barry Reid of LMI returned to discuss leadership through challenge and crisis and addressed how we can manage priorities and time most effectively. Have you ever struggled with finding enough time in the day? Or wonder, where did the time go? Reid presented a tool to uncover those pernicious events that rob leaders and managers of their valuable time. Reid examined vital elements that are synonymous with success and how each contributes to the realization of success.
