Innovative Management Reception

Well, I'm just back from the reception held for the 8 finalists of the IPAC Innovative Management Award co-sponsored by IBM Canada and KPMG. The reception was held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Toronto (where the finalists will be presenting to the jury tomorrow). It was a great reception - good conversation, fine wine and some finger foods.

I had an opportunity to address the 50 or so guests as did Kim Devooght from IBM and Richard Harris from KPMG. Quite a number of senior folks from the Government of Ontario, including Shelly Jamieson attended the reception.

As I mentioned in my previous post we received over 90 submissions, which underscores the innovative nature of governments right across Canada. It is important that we continue to celebrate public service in Canada and tell the public our success stories. This is the purpose of these awards and the other awards that IPAC runs.

Dylan from our office was taking pictures and I will post some of these in the next little while.
