THE
DIGITIZATION
SHOCK
For this edition of GRIT, we’re exploring how the pandemic has
driven a rapid migration to digital technologies and what that
means for Canadian entrepreneurship. Shifting consumer behaviours, unpredictable demand and a huge spike in remote
working has accelerated digital adoption and innovation at an
unprecedented rate. We take a deep-dive into three distinct
behavioural changes, and the approaches taken by entrepreneurs and business leaders alike to adapt.

THE DIGITIZATION
SHOCK HAS IMPACTED:
HOW WE SAVE
Digitization has been an item on the agenda for
global banks for several years. Now, it’s at the top.
A rise in online banking, cashless transactions and
the demand for more personalized customer services are all contributing to a revolution in the industry, prompting new questions for how we can
best manage our finances. JUMP TO SECTION
HOW WE LEARN
The pandemic has created the largest disruption
of education systems in history, affecting nearly
1.6BN learners worldwide and forcing organizations to implement changes in weeks that would
have typically taken years. But it has also provided an opportunity for educational institutions to
rethink how education is delivered, and ask the industry’s biggest question: what will the future of
education look like? JUMP TO SECTION
HOW WE WORK
Since last year, businesses have found new ways
to connect with one another, with many B2B sales
leaders embracing the shift to digital and remote
engagement. For many local businesses, the road
has been rockier, but a competitive advantage
is available for those who capitalize on digital
adoption. JUMP TO SECTION
