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.

Placeholder Canada Inc. – Operations Analyst (2)

As mentioned above, we are in the process of pivoting (or expanding) our business into flexible Warehouses in addition to our core Office vertical. We will continue to pursue both verticals, but Warehouses are our primary focus until the end of 2020 (at least). As the demand for new office space slowly comes back, and in whatever form people are comfortable with, the flexibility of our product makes us well-positioned to take advantage of this “new normal.” An intern will help us understand both markets and how we can be best positioned to address their needs. An intern will help us analyze our organization in the context of a post-COVID world and what the next phase of the global commercial real estate market will be. An intern will help us answer questions such as: 1) What does the demand for office space look like post-COVID? 2) How much of the increased demand for flexible Warehouse space we’re seeing right now is COVID-related versus business as usual? 3) Going forward, how should we allocate our time between our Office and Warehouse verticals?
