M3M Marketing Project

M3M Marketing is going to be developing a state-of-the-art rental studio that will provide the creative community with flexible creative space and equipment to work on production and photography projects.

This is a major expansion for the business, which means the business needs to build capacity which means accessing additional funding and resources to grow our team.

The studio will be the first-to-market photo and video-ready studio rental in Grande Prairie. A new marketing plan will need to be developed and executed to reach a new target audience, generate revenue and increase awareness.

NAIT/JADA OHSD Summer Internship

JADA Solutions seeks to move the health and safety industry from an punitive model to one of collaboration and education. A paradigm shift such as this requires significant effort and buy-in from staff and is an excellent opportunity for interns to participate in and witness a significant cultural shift and see first-hand how this changes the approach to safety in a variety of organizations. This shift is inherently challenging, as push-back is an expected hurdle that must be overcome in order to achieve this goal.
JADA Solutions requires additional assistance and support over the summer months as this is the busiest season for our company. As many of our clients work seasonally, we reflect their business ebbs and flows in ours. Excellence in health and safety consulting work requires significant manpower and effort, and contribution from all levels of the organization, from management to interns. We depend on the support and fresh insight of interns and students in the busy season to supplement our team and move several projects forward.
At JADA Solutions, we work to improve the way health and safety is practiced as a profession, both provincially and federally.

Exploring the Uptake and Impact of Using the LEADS in a Caring Environment Framework to Enhance Leadership Capacity in Health Systems Year Two

The health system in Canada is increasingly recognized as a complex adaptive environment requiring system wide perspectives and approaches for improving outcomes. The World Health Organization has identified leadership as a key building block of systems change, yet evaluating the value of investment in leadership development is challenging. LEADS is an evidence-based leadership development framework offered through the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL), complemented by four 360 LEADS© self-assessment tools. Working with a team including one of the original developers, Fenwick Leadership Explorations, Dr. Vilches will use action research with key partners and feedback data from prior LEADS implementation, exploring how complexity in health care delivery systems impact and influence leadership development outcomes. The immediate outcome will be a better understanding of how to apply the broadly adopted LEADS framework, as well as a better understanding of leadership development in complex adaptive environments, specifically in the Canadian health system.

Throughout the duration of the project, the Intern will be contributing significantly to the development of key documents, processes, practices, and standards that align with company values.

Elaborating business models supporting the digital transformation of an independent veterinary establishment: the cases of the projects Vetechno and Petruption in Groupe DMVET

Globally, the pet technology market has consistently growing in recent years. It encompasses the commercialization of technology-based products, such as smart collars, automatic feeders and drinking fountains that specifically caters the health and well-being of pets. Experts agree on a positive outlook for the industry in the years to come, fueled by product innovation development.

Is in this context, and having innovation at DMVET’s core, that the group is now looking to disrupt beyond medical technologies. Its next challenge would be to innovate in the development of digital technologies (digital), artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) and the metaverse for pets (PetMetaverse) by creating an innovation ecosystem while developing veterinary, strategic and financial partnerships. To do so, DMVET plans to invest to set up a subsidiary tech company: VETECHNO that will have PETRUPTION, a Vet/Pet incubator, within.
