Session 1: The Operational Edge: Systematizing Your Business for Growth and Consistency presented by Dez Bair-Patel of Integrated Health

• An organization is only as good as its operational consistency. In this workshop, learn how to move from ad-hoc tasks to a reliable system by creating clear, accessible policies and procedures. We will explore how to document your processes so that your team is empowered to deliver consistent service excellence, regardless of who is in the frontline seat, reducing confusion and setting the stage for business scale.

Session 2: Better Together: Building Strategic Partnerships Through Co-Marketing presented by Erin Norris of Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA)

• Strong partnerships can help businesses expand their reach, increase brand awareness, and attract new customers without significantly increasing marketing costs. This interactive workshop including a partnership activity lab explores how to identify compatible partners, build mutually beneficial relationships, and develop co-marketing initiatives that create value for everyone involved.
