MEDIA: CBC News Network Weekend Business Panel (May, 2024)

Pleased to join the CBC News Network Weekend Business Panel alongside Mark Warner and Linda Ward, talking the Loblaws grocery boycott, London Drugs cyberattack, and ride-hailing startup, Hovr; you can watch our segment here.

This week’s Business Advisor Highlight:

A key aspect of holding a senior executive role is solving problems, not only within the company, but also more broadly; this could include working with external parties, such as government, regulators, and competitors.  Consumers have faced high grocery prices for years and this story has been reported from a number of aspects.  This is coupled with reporting on significant grocery retailer profits and CEO compensation increase requests, as well as the impact of supply chain challenges and rising labour costs.

There is an opportunity to find solutions around high grocery costs and to communicate with consumers about strategies that are being undertaken, in a transparent and proactive manner.  Instead of reactive pushback and criticism of initiatives, such as a Grocery Code of Conduct, executives should be working collaboratively to develop what is possible; this requires leadership.

Thank you for watching!
