Business Strategist

Deep Roots Food Hub is a pioneer non-profit organization comprising of a passionate team of local farmers, market gardeners, health professionals, businesspeople, and residents that aims to create a secure, sustainable food system. Food security is important now more than ever due to the impacts Covid 19 had on supply chains, putting Canadians at risk. Innovative methods and thinking like food cellars can minimize the strain and dependency for importing food. With an intern, Deep Roots Food Hub can better understand the farming industry by conducting interviews with farmers, researching the current economics of the Ontario food chain, better understanding the stakeholders in this industry and identifying how the food cellar can meet their needs.The intern will explore the following and provide deliverables on each.
• Examine the agriculture market in West Carleton (Ottawa, Ontario) and the food supply chain
o Interviewing farmers
o Secondary research
• Identify ways to utilize the food storage cellar (reaching close to optimal/max capacity)
• Outline stakeholders and how they would benefit from the use of a food cellar
• Explore the option of year-round CSAs (Consumer supplier agreements)
• Develop a marketing and business plan for Deep Roots Food Hub
• Create fundraising plan for Deep Roots Food Hub (if time allows)

Project Coordinator

Recently, I applied to the Project Coordinator Internship at TalentClick to contribute to the company to achieve maximum growth in the new global business environment by working on various projects and providing support to the sales, marketing, and operations teams. As a Marketing manager in three different industries, I had the opportunity to coordinate and implement in a successful manner several marketing projects and events from inception to completion. However, my 6 years’ experience has been built only in the marketing and sales departments of the companies. Thus, I believe that participating in this Internship program at TalentClick I will acquire experiential skills in a new department, other than Marketing and Sales because I will be working directly with the Operations department of TalentClick and I am sure that this will be a very enriching experience.

Business Strategy Internship

Verity Common Inc. – Digital Transformation Intern

As part of the student’s on-boarding process, we will undertake a strategic analysis of the current business as it stands on that day (e.g., SWOT, PESTEL). From there, the Intern will participate in on-going work that will test the strategic directions we identify together, in order to determine what we should do moving forward. This Internship is by its nature strategic – we’re looking to reimagine our business and where it’s headed. This may be a small pivot, or it may be redeveloping ourselves in a totally new way to do a totally different kind of work. We remain open to where our testing takes us. The Intern will contribute to investigating and identifying the future course of our business – an important and frankly critical contribution. Contributions will include:
+Conducting foundational research on digital transformation opportunities (including in-field marketing and advertising experiments)
+Prepare digital transformation plan
+Create brand and digital marketing elements for chosen strategies and new areas of business (e.g., design, web, social, etc.)

Minds in Motion: Evaluating Impacts and Guiding Progress

The Minds in Motion Initiative (MIMI) is a community-based project run by Waterloo Regional Homes for Mental Health, Inc. This initiative has three main goals: to assist mental health consumers in the recovery process by providing access to physical health activities, to raise awareness in the community at large about mental health issues, and to provide a unique walking race experience for athletes and amateurs alike. The study will evaluate the impacts of this project on well-being through the collection and analysis of both numerical and narrative data from key participants in MIMI. The project will be guided by a steering committee composed of consumers of mental health services, their family members, staff members of Waterloo Regional Homes, and members of the community at large. This research aims to contribute both to the development of MIMI and to the literature regarding community-based mental health.

Canadian Tax Foundation Business Strategy Internship

The Foundation is embarking this fall on an update to its strategic plan, the importance of which has been highlighted by the ongoing pandemic. The first step in this exercise, and the project for the intern, will be a survey of the economic impact upon professional services in Canada, with a focus on taxation. We want to better understand how our members (primarily law and accounting firms) have responded and the best methods for the Foundation to continue to provide services that add value and support them. This market research will be supplemented by in-depth interviews with a subset of members of the Foundation to better understand the current environment.

Analyzing the Covid-19 impact on local restaurants to help navigate a road to recovery

This project is focused on looking at the impact Covid-19 has had on the local restaurant community in Kamloops, BC. We are looking at how stakeholders in the industry have been affected and how we can support them through the difficult and uncertain times. We are partnering with the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce in hopes of benefiting from their strong network and connections throughout the community. Once our data has been compiled and analyzed we will work on strategies and ideas to help this industry through the rest of the year and into 2021. We plan on distributing information to customers on how they can support their local restaurants and their workers. As well as information and strategies to business owners to better meet their customer’s needs. We are very excited about this project and it is a great partnership where both parties will benefit tremendously from each other.
