Canada is changing radically and rapidly, opening a gap, which will soon be a gulf, between the new demand and old supply of almost everything. Based on Darrell’s new 2020 book Next, this presentation focuses on the single factor that will have the biggest impact on the future of your sector: demographics.

When our demographics and needs change so does the demand. When demand changes organizations MUST also change quickly to meet the new supply. Those who don’t are destined to be left behind. Our population is aging at an unprecedented rate and at the same time as we are experiencing a sharp decline in fertility rates in Canada. These trends are changing the way we function in society today.

This presentation will help audiences understand what Canadians will want and need and how organizations and individuals can make the best decisions to succeed in a changing Canada.
