Our Work

Diversity in a workforce is about more than age, gender or culture.  It’s also the way people think and adapt to change. Cisco Canada president Rola Dagher believes diversity in the workforce will help organizations succeed with the ability to adapt to disruption; and that different experiences, ideas and opinions will lead naturally to innovation. StrategicAmpersand worked with Cisco Canada to develop and place this insightful article with The Globe and Mail’s Leadership Lab series.

TakingITGlobal has been awarded $2.5 million of Government of Canada CanCode funding to create the Code to Learn and Create to Learn programs that nurture IT skills in indigenous and underserved communities. StrategicAmpersand invited IT World Canada to an event at the Cisco Canada offices, where students and teachers supported by the program attended via video conference. Read about it in the IT World Canada article.

StrategicAmpersand helped Cisco partner, Bell, maximize sales during Bell Blitz Week. We developed three different product-focused Digital Playbooks and a Sales Incentive Poster to promote training and guidance along with incentives to drive sales.

Cisco Canada and TakingITGlobal partnered with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to launch the Connected North program in an urban school for the first time.  Students from the First Nations School of Toronto connected with their peers thousands of kilometres away, using Cisco TelePresence® videoconferencing technology, to learn about Indigenous culture and history. StrategicAmpersand secured several media to attend the launch resulting in coverage from Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), NOW Magazine and InsideToronto.com.
