Panelist Overview

To give additional flavour to the discussion of digital transformation and the opportunity for Canada to lead in this area, we've assembled our "expert panel" to take part in the Canada's Digital Compass community. They represent a wide range of roles, companies, organizations and institutions that touch on the digital economy and will play an interesting part in the campaign.

Each week, the panel will weigh in on what they think the best ideas are from each call, making the final decision on the Top 3 ideas. Their decisions will be based on ideas that the community has helped bubble to the top and how well each of submission aligns with the three measures of success - Economic Potential, Fits our Capabilities and Reflects Canada's Values. During the Final Showdown, the expert panel will choose from the previous winners to determine the Top 3 Ideas that will position Canada to lead in the digital economy.
