Upgraded: Strategic Innovations in B2B Communication

The partner organization specializes in providing core funding, grants, and finance and tax strategy consulting services. Despite their robust service offerings, they face significant challenges that go beyond day-to-day business operations, particularly in effectively connecting with potential clients and expanding their market reach.
The primary innovation challenge the organization needs to solve is creating more effective pathways to connect potential clients with their services. This involves generating leads, organizing marketing data and strategies, and increasing brand awareness in a way that transcends routine business activities.
This project aims to address these challenges by developing innovative B2B outreach strategies that extend beyond the organization’s regular operations. By implementing advanced marketing techniques and leveraging digital tools, the project will streamline client acquisition processes and significantly enhance the efficiency of their marketing efforts. Key initiatives will include:
– Creating targeted marketing campaigns tailored to specific client segments
– Optimizing customer relationship management (CRM) systems to improve client interaction and retention
– Utilizing data analytics to refine and adjust marketing strategies in real-time
The expertise required to solve this problem includes proficiency in digital marketing, data analytics, CRM optimization, and strategic marketing planning. By filling these gaps, the project will not only address the current challenges but also position the partner organization for sustained growth and improved client engagement in the long term.

Demande SSE | Alexa Victor

Le projet qu’Alexa entreprendra avec nous aura non seulement un impact dans notre organisation, mais aussi pour les nombreuses entreprises locales d’ici (PME), puisqu’il est important dans le contexte économique actuel de tirer profit des solutions créatives existantes dans un but d’attraction de clientèle qualifiée. Il est impératif d’éviter de donner l’impression de vouloir sans cesse vendre de nouveaux produits alors que la créativité s’internalise de plus en plus pour des raisons de coupures budgétaires. La recherche proposée par Alexa permettra également à plusieurs entreprises de bénéficier de certains avantages dont de meilleures tactiques concernant le processus d’optimisation créatif dans toute entreprise.

La propriété comme investissement: les acteurs de la financiarisation du marché du logement montréalais et leur discours

Cette année, selon les prévisions de la Société canadienne d’hypothèque et de logement, le coût moyen d’un appartement à Montréal augmentera de 10% ; comment expliquer l’avènement de ce que certains osent appeler une crise du logement ? Parmi tous les facteurs qui participent de l’emballement économique, le changement de la perception du logement, devenu un bien ordinaire et l’occasion d’investir pour une rare élite économique, est trop souvent négligé. Notre projet de recherche porte sur la multipropriété à Montréal et se penche sur le discours qui produit une justification morale et économique de l’investissement immobilier. Si la propriété immobilière a toujours été perçue comme un investissement stable et sécurisé, sa justification d’un point de vue économique est ambiguë : tout comme l’épargne, le patrimoine immobilier est souvent décrit par l’économie orthodoxe comme un « argent mort ». En nous appuyant sur des travaux récents de sociologues du logement et de l’économie, nous posons une question fondamentale : comment comprendre qu’un élément aussi crucial dans notre existence que le logement ait été progressivement appréhendé comme une marchandise ordinaire ?

Exploring Wait times for Pediatric Rehabilitation Services for Children who are Neurodiverse in Durham, Ontario

This research focuses on challenges in accessing pediatric rehabilitation for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. In Durham Region, Ontario, Grandview Children’s Centre (Grandview) is the only provincially designated center to provide necessary rehabilitation services for these children. However, high demand has created long wait times to care. Using electronic health records of children under 19 years-old attending Grandview for rehabilitation (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology) between 2020-2023, this research will: 1) Describe annual wait times for rehabilitation; and 2) Investigate the association between rehabilitation wait times and age, sex, residential location, and referral source. This research will provide necessary information to impact care in several ways, including: 1) informing Grandview about wait lists to help develop wait time and care strategies; 2) providing the Ontario government, relevant ministries, and policymakers with current data to better understand the urgency related to pediatric rehabilitation wait times; and 3) shaping expectations of parents and caregivers regarding care for their children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Finally, this research will lay the foundation for future studies and advocate for essential funding for this population. This research is a collaborative effort between the Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research at Ontario Tech University and Grandview Children’s Centre.

Visualization and Explainable AI (XAI) Techniques in Check Fraud Detection

Check fraud continues to be a substantial challenge in the financial sector, involving the unauthorized use of checks for illegal fund acquisition. To address the issue of fraud detection, specific Artificial Intelligence models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have been increasingly applied to classify checks as fraudulent or legitimate. However, there is a crucial aspect of these models usually overlooked, which is the ability to interpret and understand the decisions made by the model. The ability to interpret why a check is labelled as fraudulent or legitimate is highly important, helping to understand the basis for a decision which increases transparency and trustfulness. In this project, two different AI techniques are applied to our model to generate the heatmaps of the final classified output. They reveal which part of the check is most influential in the model’s decision-making process, allowing Verafin to enhance the accuracy and fairness of its fraud detection systems.

Optimizing the healthcare of refugees in Alberta through the evaluation of a principles-based care model: the New Canadians Health Centre

Refugees face multifaceted health needs, due to fleeing home, living in a refugee camp, and limited access to healthcare. Research underscores the need for comprehensive healthcare for refugees to foster long-term positive outcomes. Therefore, in 2021, the New Canadians Health Centre (NCHC) was established as a principles-based community health centre, with a mandate to provide primary healthcare grounded in principles supporting social justice and equity to refugees following their arrival in Canada. There has been no prior research exploring the role of a principles-based model in supporting refugee health; accordingly, there is a need to research the activities at the NCHC. This project will explore how the NCHC’s principles-based model is upheld and influences refugees’ health experiences. Specifically, this project will engage refugees to understand the impact of the NCHC’s principles-based model on their health access and outcomes. This research will further the body of evidence on refugee healthcare practices.

Enquête sur le travail et les jeunes dans Lanaudière

Le présent projet de recherche poursuit l’objectif de décrire le profil scolaire et à l’emploi des personnes étudiantes lanaudoises de 15 à 25 ans. Le Comité régional pour la valorisation de l’éducation (CRÉVALE), partenaire de cette étude, a pour mandat de favoriser la diffusion et le transfert de connaissances pour accroître la réussite éducative de tous. Dans le cadre des activités du partenaire, il a été constaté que les jeunes lanaudois semblent peu familiers avec le concept de conciliation études-travail, laissant croire que certains d’entre eux ne sont pas au fait de l’importance d’équilibrer adéquatement le temps consacré pour le travail et celui pour les études. À l’heure actuelle, nous ne disposons pas de données régionales plus récentes à 2018 sur le travail des étudiants lanaudois, ce qui légitimise la tenue de cette étude. Concernant les avantages sociaux et économiques, le CRÉVALE s’attend à ce que les résultats obtenus sur le profil scolaire et à l’emploi des étudiants lanaudois servent d’ancrage pour d’éventuelles initiatives en matière de conciliation études-travail et de réussite éducative. Ces initiatives agiront positivement sur le maintien en formation des étudiants, participant à l’augmentation du capital humain qualifié et disponible pour le marché du travail.
