LEADERSHIP EXCHANGE TORONTO
We went to Toronto to get at the forces behind its evolution from important Canadian city to top-ranking international capital. We knew it wasn't the weather. So we invited more than 40 of Toronto's leaders to tell the story, and asked them to focus on immigration and workforce, waterfront development, creating community through the arts, innovation and entrepreneurship, growth and mobility, Toronto's image, and governance and the Canadian citizen.
According to the delegation's daily comments posted on easels in the "Sticky Note Nook," the frequency with which the Toronto presenters used "harmonize" or "harmonization" and "civil society" was remarkable.
