Yvan Lamoureux shared thisSustainable IT is no longer optional — it's a strategic requirement. In 2026, Canadian municipalities and ESG-driven enterprises must evaluate not only where their data lives, but how much carbon it emits. Canadian-hosted infrastructure reduces digital emissions, supports compliance, and builds trust through transparent, sovereignty-aligned practices. Discover why local cloud hosting is key to your environmental, operational, and governance goals. 📖 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/eQNgXEit #SustainableIT #ESG #GreenTech #CanadianCloud #CarbonAwareIT #DataSovereigntySustainable & Carbon-Aware IT: Why Canadian-Hosted Infrastructure MattersSustainable & Carbon-Aware IT: Why Canadian-Hosted Infrastructure Matters

Yvan Lamoureux reposted thisYvan Lamoureux reposted this"Don’t Change the Goal, Increase the Effort" In manufacturing and pursuit of excellence, challenges are inevitable. Machines break down, deadlines seem impossible, and competition is fierce. Yet, these hurdles aren’t signs to lower our aspirations—they’re calls to sharpen our focus and amplify our efforts. True excellence doesn’t come from scaling down goals to fit our comfort zones. It’s achieved when we innovate, push boundaries, and optimize processes to meet and surpass those goals. Whether it's through enhanced training, smarter workflows, or adopting cutting-edge technology, success lies in the effort we’re willing to invest. Manufacturing excellence demands resilience and a mindset that thrives on challenges. When the journey gets tough, remember: the goal is non-negotiable. What we can change is the energy and strategy we bring to the table. #ManufacturingExcellence #Leadership #Resilience #ContinuousImprovement #kimberly-clark

Yvan Lamoureux shared thisSalient pointsYvan Lamoureux shared thisFrom Useful to Useless. The deterioration of clinicaltrials.gov. Our industry turned clinicaltrials.gov from a useful tool for patients into a useless maze. Clinicaltrials.gov has the potential to be life changing for patients searching for a clinical trial for themselves or for a loved one. Unfortunately, big pharma has taken something with promise and rendered it worthless and they need to be called out. The issue I have is that many study sponsors ignore the instructions of the NIH when inserting site location information and instead put “(name of pharmaceutical company) Investigative Site” and a zip code. Just for fun I clicked on the map of one of these listings and zoomed in as far as I could. The zip code provided took me to the County Courthouse in a small town in Kentucky. I guess we're really decentralizing #clinicaltrials now. Of course, the sponsor provides a toll free number to contact them directly, but that’s not a reasonable solution. Do you think a patient wants to contact a pharmaceutical company about a clinical trial? In desperation maybe. The NIH designed CT.gov as a resource to share information about clinical trials to the public and make it easier for them to find a study happening near them. At a minimum, the actual site name should be listed so that a patient can use google to connect directly with them. Better yet, ask the site what information they want posted. In a #clinicaltrial world where we’re focused on low recruitment, let’s take some actual steps to fix the problem. #clinicaloperations #clinicalresearch

Yvan Lamoureux liked thisYvan Lamoureux liked thisThree months ago, I "retired" from my role as CEO of Apply Digital, the company I co-founded - and started golfing more. Today, I am stepping back into the role of CEO at Uniserve Communications Corporation, where I have also been serving as Chairman. Many have asked why I made this decision, and here are a few reasons: 1. I see a significant market opportunity with Uniserve, particularly in Canadian sovereign data centers and tech services for the mid-market. 2. Uniserve has a solid foundation, with long-term clients and a great team that I believe I can support with my experience. 3. As a publicly traded company (TSX: USS), this role offers me valuable learning opportunities, having previously only worked in the private sector. 4. We are at a category-defining moment with AI, and I am excited about the potential to create a digital infrastructure leader in Canada. And of course, I can't travel and golf all the time! My brain needs some activity, and having a purpose is essential for well-being. My family is very supportive of this new chapter, adding a bit of fun and excitement for them as well! Uniserve is Canada wide - but look at our team in Vancouver getting ready to leap to the next level!!

They’re not just technical. They’re strategic. This chart from the World Economic Forum shows what employers expect to matter most by 2030. In the upper-right quadrant—skills that are both core today and expected to grow in importance—we see: -> Analytical thinking -> Resilience, flexibility & agility -> Leadership & social influence -> Motivation & self-awareness -> Creative thinking -> Systems thinking -> Curiosity & lifelong learning These aren’t niche capabilities. They’re the core drivers of strategy in action. Yes, technological literacy, AI and data skills matter too. But the bulk of what’s rising isn’t just technical—it’s about how people think, adapt, lead, and execute in a changing world. This is exactly why we built the Big 5 of Strategy © - a structured competency framework that helps individuals, teams, and organizations map their strategy and implementation strengths and cultivate an integrative set of essential power skills. It is: ✅ Grounded in science ✅ Built for practical use in organizations ✅ Focused on the human capabilities that drive strategic success We’re now opening up to 5 large organizations to work with us as early adopters before launch. You and your people get exclusive access to the online self-assessment and help shape how strategy skills are developed in the next decade.
