On Thursday, June 20, Black Diamond Group’s Board of Directors and Leaders from across the Company, were joined by special guests in Calgary for our annual strategy conference,
ONWARD: A Visionary Summit, which informs the Company’s Long-Range Strategy Framework.
This annual gathering serves as an engaging and collaborative day that helps Black Diamond’s Leaders envision the future and plan for the continued growth of the Company. This process helps draw alignment around the execution required to achieve our long-term objectives and goals.
"At Black Diamond, we know we’re living in an ever-changing world – disruption, macro-economics, end-market volatility, and government policy changes impact a company’s ability to plan for growth in the future,” said
Trevor Haynes, Chairman & CEO. “At the same time, innovation, technology advancements, government spending, and emerging markets present immense opportunity for businesses to capitalize on."
While there is no crystal ball to predict the future, our network is full of intelligent, experienced professionals and subject-matter experts who can help guide us as we consider what may unfold. That is the purpose of this summit, and throughout the day, participants are given the opportunity to listen, learn, ideate, connect and network.
This year's summit was thoughtfully curated with several internal panel discussions led by Black Diamond Group leaders and subject-matter experts, focused on each area of the business including Modular Space Solutions (MSS), Workforce Accommodations (WFS) and LodgeLink.
The morning started off with an Economic Address by Dr. Anirban Basu, Chief Industry Economist with the Modular Building Institute and Chairman & CEO of Sage Policy Group, where he highlighted the current and forward-looking macroeconomic landscape for both Canada and the United States.
At the end of the day, participants joined together for a casual networking reception to continue the inspiring conversations had throughout the day.
At Black Diamond, we believe that a clear vision with measurable objectives, precise execution, disciplined accountability, and data-centric decision-making leads to successful outcomes and set us apart.
Our Way is to Create A Better Way and that starts with how we plan for the future – we’re proudly different, carving our own path and aiming to deliver excellence in everything we do.
