To mention that Ilkim Hincer has had his fingers on the pulse of regulated gambling in Canada and the U.S. over the five years is akin to proclaiming Connor McDavid is a pretty decent player of hockey. Hence, our motivation for some time now to get the former Chair of the Canadian Gaming Association into the virtual studio for an appearance on the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. Not only did Hincer accept our invite, but appeared on the podcast the same week he was appointed the new Chief Legal Officer at gaming industry behemoth GeoComply. Hincer, who left his position as partner and chair of the gaming practice at Fogler, Rubinoff LLP to join GeoComply, let us in on the process that led to his latest position in the business of sports betting and gaming. We also spoke with the one-time senior executive at Hard Rock International about the shifting regulated gambling space, and working with Paul Burns to lead the CGA through a busy three-year tenure as Chair. We also discussed the potential for competitive regulated gambling regimes not only in Alberta, but across the rest of the country. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Les dernières années ont été marquées par plusieurs grands défis. D'une pandémie qui nous a fait réinventer nos manières de travailler et qui ont transformé nos organisations, nous sommes revenus vers des modes de travail hybrides, parfois même plus strictement au bureau, avant de voir l'ensemble de la planète être frappée par une spirale inflationniste qui, aujourd'hui, nous met face à des séries de coupures et de resserrements budgétaires pour les entreprises de toutes tailles et industries. Comme gestionnaires, les défis sont nombreux, et il peut parfois être facile – et risqué – de perdre de vue certains défis ou potentiels problèmes sur lesquels nous pouvons exercer un certain contrôle. PwC rappelait plus tôt cette année qu'une des conséquences de l'inflation et de la hausse des prix, c'est le risque accru de fraude. Un risque qui peut être en plus grave pour des entreprises qui négligent de mettre en place des mesures pour surveiller et prévenir la fraude interne dans leurs organisations. Les gestionnaires de tous les niveaux ont un rôle à jouer. Entrevue avec Simon Marchand, CFE, Adm.A., vice-président, Stratégie – Risque & Fraude chez GeoComply, à Montréal.

It's a term that's been front and centre this fall, as the federal government considers ways to shepherd Canada out of the economic downturn caused by COVID: intellectual property. But what exactly is IP -- and how could it be central to the recovery?On this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, host John Stackhouse sits down for a no-holds-barred conversation with one of Canada's most outspoken tech and innovation advocates: Jim Balsillie, a businessman, philanthropist, former co-CEO of Research in Motion, and Chair of Council of Canadian Innovators. Balsillie believes there's simply too much at stake to continue the Canada's current approach to innovation, which he says has allowed foreign companies to cannibalize our businesses, pulling the benefits of IP research and development out of the country. Balsillie believes we're at a pivotal moment, in which our economic prosperity, digital sovereignty, even our national security, could be impacted for years to come.Over the course of the conversation, Jim and John will also hear from CCI's Director of Strategic Initiatives, Dana O'Born, and from a Canadian business leader who has successfully leveraged IP to grow his company. Jason Tham, the CEO of Nulogy will touch on the lessons he learned and discuss what needs to be done differently if Canada is indeed to become an IP powerhouse.Notes:Click the following links to learn more about the Canadian Council of Innovators, its recent open letter to the Prime Minister about nation building, and its plan for economic recovery.
