In the past, I have used this report to provide readers with ageneral overview of annual activities at the School ofManagement, and to highlight noteworthy accomplishments ofstudents and faculty. This year’s report tacks a slightly differ-ent course. It is divided into five sections: social responsibility,global perspective, research momentum, leadership links andstudents’ career ambitions.
These themes speak to the priorities that we at the School ofManagement share, and help us foster an academic environ-ment in which students can experience a complete education,faculty can reach their professional goals, alumni can imparttheir wealth of experience, and corporate partners can contribute
to scholastic achievement and community progress. This reportpresents several innovative programs, unique initiatives andspecial achievements that reflect these values, and demon-strates why the School of Management has become one of thefinest institutions of its kind in Canada.
DEMONSTRATING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Two initiatives undertaken by School of Management studentsthis year have proven that a business education not only fosterspersonal enrichment, but can also promote a more sociallyaware approach to marketing.
Over the course of six months last year, Making Niger OurBusiness—a series of fundraising activities undertaken by 170 marketing students—generated $40,000 in cash dona-tions and $250,000 worth of medical equipment to helpalleviate the suffering caused by a recent food shortage in Niger.
In November 2005, the Commerce and Administration StudentCharity Organization’s Annual Smiles and Styles Charity Showraised more than $20,000 for the Children’s Hospital of EasternOntario Foundation.
DISPLAYING A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
During 2005–2006, the School of Management sponsored twoinnovative ventures to help provide dozens of students with aclear perspective on the forces at play in the global marketplace.
In April 2006, 27 students from the School’s Executive MBAprogram travelled to Shanghai to learn firsthand the globalnature of business and help six Ottawa-based companies tapinto the burgeoning and lucrative Chinese marketplace.

DEAN MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN MESSDean Micheál J. Kelly

Closer to home, the 2006 Canadian Leadership OrientationProgram used a speaker series, site visits and panel discussionsto help 19 MBA students from top US business schools, and 10 of our own graduate students, enhance their knowledgeand understanding of the extensive and diverse economic andpolitical relationship that exist between Canada and theUnited States.
GENERATING RESEARCH MOMENTUM
At the School of Management, we recognize that leading-edgeresearch activity enables our institution to remain a beacon forthe finest students and academics in the country. To bolster our research capability, we created and staffed several new positions this year.
Dr. Tom Brzustowski—named the Royal Bank of CanadaFinancial Group Professor in the Commercialization ofInnovation—collaborates with School of Management facultymembers to cultivate greater appreciation of the businessstrategies, environments and characteristics that foster thesuccessful commercialization of scientific innovations.
Dr. Barbara Orser and Dr.Allan Riding were appointed co-chairsof the Deloitte Professorship in the Management of GrowthEnterprises. They are using this professorship to unite School ofManagement faculty members in the study of growth enterprises.
Dr. Bruce Firestone, the School of Management’s inauguralEntrepreneur-in-Residence, teaches students, conducts research,holds seminars and delivers motivational speeches—all activitiesdesigned to nurture the study of innovation and groom thenext generation of entrepreneurs.
FORGING LEADERSHIP LINKS
Linked With Leadership is an organizing principle that shapesexisting activities and inspires new initiatives. Two such eventslast year come immediately to mind.
The Leadership Forum—a series of six interactive sessionsheld over 22 months—is a singular opportunity for 45 accom-plished young executives of local companies to gain practicalknowledge and insights from some of Ottawa’s most successful business leaders.
The Mindtrust Leadership Development Program is a six-weekseries of seminars in which 13 leading corporate executives fromthe Ottawa area focus on a variety of topics related to leadershipdevelopment.These talks help students understand what it takesto succeed as leaders in today’s extremely challenging and com-petitive business environment.
FURTHERING CAREER AMBITIONS
At the School of Management, we firmly believe that career devel-opment is an essential component of a quality business education.
As a result, we have created the Career Centre, a student-fundedbody that plays a vital role in helping a variety of prominentCanadian and multinational corporations cultivate rewardingprofessional relationships with our students.
We also instituted the prestigious Goldcorp Inc. apprenticeinitiative, in which a recent School of Management MBA grad-uate serves for one year as apprentice to one of Canada’smost respected executives: Goldcorp CEO Ian Telfer.
TAKING PRIDE IN OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
All these programs, initiatives and achievements are clearindicators of the priorities we embody as an institution andpromote as individuals. Indeed, at the School of Management,we are extremely proud of what students, faculty, alumni,administrators and partners have created: a rich learning envi-ronment that demonstrates social responsibility, displays a globalperspective, generates research momentum, forges links toleadership and furthers students’ career ambitions.

FOSTERING ETHICAL AWARENESS IN MARKETING
In October 2005, Professor Guy Laflamme issued a challengeto second- and third-year students in his consumer behaviourand marketing classes. He asked them to use the businessknowledge and skills they had acquired at the School ofManagement to help alleviate the suffering caused by arecent food shortage in Niger and contribute to long-termeconomic development in the country. More specifically,Professor Laflamme called on his students to devise—andthen implement—a marketing campaign that would raise$250,000 in six months.
By the time the project—known as Making Niger Our Business—was completed in April 2006, a variety of initiatives developed bysome 170 students from three classes had generated $40,000in cash donations and $250,000 worth of medical equipment.Activities included a candlelight vigil, sales of hockey ticketsand the establishment of fundraising partnerships with areanewspapers Le Droit and the Ottawa Citizen, and with ninebranches of Alterna Savings. In the last week of fundraisingalone, students attracted more than $15,000 in donations bytransforming a glass-panelled advertising van into a Nigerschoolroom and taking turns living in it around the clock.
The project continued beyond the six-month timeline estab-lished by Professor Laflamme when he and seven of hisstudents visited Niger in June 2006 to ensure hospitals in thecities of Niamey, Maradi and Zinder received their medicalequipment and to observe con-struction of wells near schools inthe Tahoua region. The studentsalso offered a training programin social marketing at theUniversity of Niamey and estab-lished partnerships with theschool’s journalism program andthe Niger Youth Parliament.Along with Professor Laflamme,the group included RobertaCaverly, Mehran Faridani,Claudine Girard, PhilippeLetendre, Pierre-Luc Pilon, JoséPoulin and Alexandre Préfontaine.
Through Making Niger Our Business, these School ofManagement students, and dozens of others like them, demon-strated that a business education not only fosters personaldevelopment and enrichment, but also promotes a more ethicaland socially aware approach to marketing.

A COMPLETE EDUCATION—THE CASCO WAY
Academic life is about much more than attending lectures,undertaking research projects and writing exams. Granted, thesetasks are fundamental elements of post-secondary education,but a genuinely complete education also involves supportingschool events, participating in student organizations andreaching out to help local causes.
Perhaps no group at the School of Management exemplifiesthe ethos of a complete education better than the Commerceand Administration Student Charity Organization (CASCO).An entirely student-run organization comprised of dozens ofSchool of Management students, CASCO supports theChildrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) by organizing,promoting and holding entertaining and inspirational events.
During 2005–2006, CASCO donated more than $20,000 tothe Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Foundation—bringingthe total donated by the group over the past 7 years to justunder $100,000.The group generated this money largely throughits Annual Smiles and Styles Charity Show, which was held onNovember 28, 2005 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel ballroombefore an audience of more than 600 students, faculty, busi-nesspersons and sponsors.
The highlight of the evening was a modern musical remake ofthe Charles Dickens’s holiday classic A Christmas Carol. EntitledA CASCO Carol, the Broadway-style show was organized,written, choreographed and performed entirely by School ofManagement students.
The event also included a performance by Canadian Idol final-ist Emily Vinette and an appearance by Canadian Idol judge Zack Werner, who expressed his admiration for how School ofManagement students had used their academic skills andknowledge to achieve socially responsible objectives—andhave some fun at the same time. But after all, isn’t that whata complete education is all about?

UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL NATURE OF BUSINESS
To succeed in today’s challenging and rapidly changing businessworld, entrepreneurs and executives require more than a solidgrounding in fundamental management principles.True businessleaders must know how to translate these principles into pro-ductive practices. Moreover, leading executives must cultivate adeep understanding of how to effectively employ these principlesto make strategic decisions in today’s dynamic global environment.
The School of Management Executive MBA Program has devel-oped a number of innovative methods to provide participantswith a clear perspective of the forces at play in the global mar-ketplace. Foremost among these creative learning approachesis a series of international consulting assignments.
The first engagement abroad is a study trip to San Jose,California—the international epicentre of entrepreneurshipand business innovation. Undertaken at the end of the first yearof the 20-month program, the visit enables students to gaininsights from business leaders whose organizations continueto alter the global corporate landscape all the while completing aconsulting project on behalf of an Ottawa based firm.
Toward the end of the program, participants travel to a secondforeign destination to put their acquired knowledge and skillsto work. In 2006, the destination was Shanghai, a major inter-national business hub on China’s east coast.
In the four months leading up to the trip, students worked withsix local companies looking to tap into the burgeoning and lucra-tive Chinese marketplace. The companies ranged from a small,privately owned company that specializes in 911-response toa publicly traded, multinational high-technology firm employinghundreds of people. Preparatory work included examining thesecompanies’ specific business challenges, conducting focusedresearch on market conditions, and developing a comprehensivemarket-entry strategy.
On April 21, 2006, EMBA program participants and client repre-sentatives arrived in Shanghai to conduct eight days of meetings
and business development. While in the city, participants validated research findings, gathered further market intelligencethrough interviews and onsite research, solidified contacts, andhelped strike business deals with Chinese companies.
For example, as a result of the international consulting engage-ments in Shanghai, Medical International Technologies Canada Inc.has drafted a memo of understanding with a Chinese firm todistribute the organization’s unique needle-free jet injectors.AndQiaoLinx, a consulting firm—founded by an EMBA graduate—that facilitates business between Canadian and Chinese organ-izations, validated its value proposition offered to Canadian firms.
Not only did the assignments deliver concrete value to six localfirms, but they also enabled participants to learn firsthandhow to unlock the value and promise of the global economy.

ILLUMINATING A DEEP ANDENDURING RELATIONSHIP
“It’s safe to say that this program floored us.”
“The quality of activities was staggering.”
“The seminars provided valuableinsights into the business, politicaland cultural environments of Canada.”
These three quotations exemplify the reactions of participants inthis year’s Canadian Leadership Orientation Program.The annualprogram is a unique opportunity for MBA students from leadingUS Business Schools—the next generation of American businessleaders—enhance their knowledge and understanding of theextensive and diverse economic and political relationship thatexist between Canada and the United States.
Supported by Foreign Affairs Canada, Cisco Systems HECMontréal and the Association for Canadian Studies in the UnitedStates (ACSUS), this year’s event—held from June 4 to 9,2006—examined the current economic, business and politi-cal linkages between Canada and the United States, andexplored several of the bilateral challenges looming on thehorizon. In particular, the program’s speaker series, site visitsand panel discussions enabled participants to delve deeply intoa variety of vital topics including Canadian business practices;Canada’s economic, industrial and financial market structures;trade and investment strategies of American companies thatoperate in Canada; and political and trade relations betweenthe two countries.
The participants—19 students from top business schools inthe United States and 10 graduate students from the Schoolof Management—were especially enthusiastic about fourcomponents of this year’s line up:
■ A lively and penetrating panel discussion on future scenariosfor North American integration featured four major playersin the Canada-United States relationship: the HonourableJohn Manley (formerly Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister,Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minster of Finance and Minsterof Industry), James Blanchard (formerly Governor ofMichigan and United States Ambassador to Canada),Thomas D’Aquino (president and chief executive officer ofthe Canadian Council of Chief Executives) and moderator,Michael Kergin (former Canadian Ambassador to theUnited States and currently Special Advisor to the Premier of Ontario on Border Issues).
■ A luncheon hosted by the Bank of Canada provided PaulJenkins, the Bank’s senior deputy governor, with a forum tooutline the institution’s overall role in the Canadian economyand describe the Bank’s inflation-targeting framework.
■ During a visit to Cisco Systems Canada’s headquarters inKanata, Douglas Frosst, a senior executive at the globalnetworking giant, shared his detailed perspective of thehigh-technology landscape in Canada and the role Ciscointends to play in the industry’s future.
■ Officials from the United States embassy provided partici-pants with an in-depth briefing session on trade and otherkey aspects of the relationship between Canada and theUnited States.
Indeed, as many program participants pointed out, trade disputesis a subject that often obscures the importance of relationsbetween the two countries.The Canadian Leadership OrientationProgram helps future business leaders—in the United Statesand at the School of Management—bring this vital bilateralrelationship back into focus.

PROMOTING A GREATERUNDERSTANDING OF GROWTHENTERPRISES
Research indicates that a critical mass of high-growth, smalland medium-sized businesses drive job creation, wealth gen-eration and technical innovation in Canada. In September2005, the School of Management, with support from Deloitte,launched the Deloitte Professorship in the Management ofGrowth Enterprises. The Professorship will focus on researchand related activities that contribute to a greater understand-ing of the characteristics, behaviours and strategies of theseexceptional companies.
Dr. Barbara Orser and Dr. Allan Riding wereappointed co-holders ofthe Professorship for a termof five years. ProfessorsOrser and Riding are highlyregarded in the financial andacademic communities forthe quality of their researchon entrepreneurship issues,including lending programs,private equity financing,
and motivation and decision-making. They have used theProfessorship as a catalyst to bring together School ofManagement faculty from several disciplines to study Canadiangrowth enterprises. In the first of a series of studies, theDeloitte professors and colleagues are focusing on the role ofexports in fuelling rapid growth. Professors Jérôme Doutriauxand Tyler Chamberlin are exploring the links between exportsuccess and corporate research and development. ProfessorBarbara Orser and Professor Martine Spence are examiningthe nature of growth enterprises across sectors—with a par-ticular emphasis on global firms. Professors Allan Riding andScott Ensign are studying the methods by which small growthenterprises derive the financing necessary to spur substantialexport growth. In each case, the teams are actively collaborat-ing with colleagues at Industry Canada.
Research findings will be disseminated through scholarly articlesand via a September 2006 conference.
Armed with the findings of the three research projects, Canadianpolicymakers and business leaders will be poised to create amore fertile environment for growth enterprises in this country.
ENTREPRENEURIAL MOMENTUM
Civil engineer. Businessperson. Executive. Corporate director.Consultant. Teacher. Mentor. Realtor. Researcher. Ph.D. Urbanist.National Hockey League executive. Most people would consider this list of professional and academic duties to beextensive enough for one career. Not Dr. Bruce M. Firestone.In May 2006, Dr. Firestone added one more title to hisresume, and a unique one at that: he became the School ofManagement’s inaugural Entrepreneur-in-Residence.
Dr. Firestone is the ideal person to execute this new role. He hasa long record as an entrepreneur, serving as the driving forcebehind several businesses in diverse fields. He has also taughtentrepreneurship for many years, served as mentor for numer-ous local businesspersons, and developed tools to helpbudding entrepreneurs generate business models, evaluatemarketing strategies, and test whether they have the aptitudeto become successful entrepreneurs.
As Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Dr. Firestone focuses on an arrayof research interests, such as gauging the efficiency of self-capitalized or self-financed entrepreneurship, generating verifi-able data on the results of guerilla or unconventional marketing,and determining how to produce differentiated or distinctivevalue in business models.
Along with his research activity, Dr. Firestone plays an instru-mental role in grooming the next generation of entrepreneursand business leaders. Through a challenging curriculum thatstresses the importance of creating effective business models,he will help provide third- and fourth-year commerce studentsand first-year MBA students with the knowledge, training andtools required to thrive as entrepreneurs.

PROPELLING THECOMMERCIALIZATION OF INNOVATIONS
On their own, research advances in scienceand technology do not improve quality of life.To enhance public health, protect the environ-ment and generate wealth, scientific researchmust spur development of commercially viableproducts and services that will be widely dis-tributed in the global market. No one inCanada has a better understanding of theeconomic, social and environmental value oflinking research and commercialization thanDr. Tom Brzustowski.
Formerly a prominent academic (vice-president, academic at the University ofWaterloo from 1975 to 1987), senior publicservant (deputy minister in the Governmentof Ontario from 1987 to 1995—first in theMinistry of Colleges and Universities, andlater in the Premier’s Council), and chief exec-utive of a respected national publicorganization (president of the NaturalSciences and Engineering Research Councilfrom 1995 to 2005), Dr. Brzustowski wasnamed Royal Bank of Canada FinancialGroup Professor in the Commercialization ofInnovations at the School of Managementthis year. In this unique role, Dr. Brzustowskicollaborates with a range of faculty membersin the School of Management’s InnovationResearch Cluster to study what it takes toinnovate and create wealth.
Since arriving in October 2005, Dr. Brzustowski has started fourresearch projects to gain insight into the linkages between scien-tific research and prosperity.
First, he is comparing 20 industrialized nations to determine theextent to which high-quality research affects their prosperity,taking into account additional factors such as these countries’respective history, geography, culture, natural resources, andpublic policies and institutions.
Second, he is analyzing the corporate behaviours of Canada’s top100 spenders in research and development to learn about inno-vation behaviour in different sectors and the demographics of thistop tier of industrial R&D performers.
Third, he is using data from these 100 companies to affirm orrefute the hypothesis that the percentage of sales revenue spenton R&D (known as R&D intensity) is directly linked to the speedof innovation and commercialization, and to see whether R&Dintensity within certain industrial sectors reveals any commonstructures and behaviours in terms of innovation.
Finally, he is delving into a range of publicpolicies in Canada to identify which policieslump research and development into oneactivity—in the same way that spending isreported—and which policies recognize thefundamental differences between these tworelated but separate activities in terms of goals,costs, risks, skills, cultures and processes.
Armed with the findings emerging from thesefour projects, Dr. Brzustowski is preparing sev-eral scholarly papers for publication. In thisway, Dr. Brzustowski will help students,researchers, policymakers and many othersgain a better perspective on the connectionbetween research and wealth creation.
“A TURBULENT TIME, ACLEAR OPPORTUNITY”
As the first Jarislowsky Chair in Public SectorManagement at the University of Ottawa,Dr. David Zussman, an expert on governance,has been a whirlwind of activity since hisappointment in November 2005.The Chair wascreated to provide managers, academics andstudents with a meeting place to debate ideasand issues that pertain to management in thefederal, provincial and municipal governments.
Dr. Zussman has begun work to establish partnerships with various departments in theUniversity of Ottawa, with Carleton University,and with other academic institutions todevelop research initiatives for faculty andlearning activities for students. He is working
with the Canada School of Public Service to facilitate interchanges between federal human-resources managers andtheir counterparts in the private sector. He has acceleratedefforts to create a website on governance that will serve as animportant forum for public-sector managers and academics toexchange views and collaborate on initiatives. And he will soon start organizing roundtables and conferences across thecountry on pressing public-sector management issues. Forinstance, the federal public service will soon undergo a signif-icant transformation caused by the retirement of a largeproportion of its executive cadre. An important consequence isthe need to have a clear understanding of the career plans ofsenior management and the perceptions of those who aregoing to take their place as leaders in the public service.Fortunately, there is ample opportunity to consider the renewal issue in the context of the survey analysis and roundtable discussions.

PREPARING FOR BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
Clearly evident in all School of Management promotionalmaterial is reference to the School’s brand: Linked WithLeadership. Development of a distinctive, powerful brand hasbeen an essential element in establishing the School as one ofthe finest institutions in Canada for the study of management.Among its many advantages, Linked With Leadership hashelped the School shape current activities and inspires cre-ative new initiatives.
One of these initiatives is The Leadership Forum. A series of sixinteractive sessions held over 22 months, The Leadership Forumis a singular opportunity for up-and-coming executives of localorganizations to gain practical knowledge and insights from someof Ottawa’s most successful business leaders. Currently underway,the inaugural Leadership Forum focuses specifically on the
subject of accountability at the individual, team and organiza-tional levels.
Forty-five accomplished young professionals from Ottawa-area organizations have been invited to participate in thesesessions. Nominated by the CEOs of their organizations andsubject to a rigorous review by The Leadership ForumSelection Committee, these corporate officers are clearlyamong this region’s and this country’s next generation of business leaders.
Recognizing the importance of preparing these young execu-tives for business leadership, six prominent local companiesand organizations sponsored The Leadership Forum: BordenLadner Gervais LLP, The Canadian Advanced TechnologyAlliance, Ernst & Young, the Ottawa Business Journal, theOttawa Citizen, and Scotiabank. Not only did these sponsorsprovide essential funding for The Leadership Forum, but theyalso helped select featured presenters for the six sessions.
To date, The Leadership Forum has held two sessions. OnFebruary 22, 2006, Paul Coffin, president of IDA Communications,shared a harrowing account of how his unethical behaviourplunged his life—both personally and professionally—intochaos. On May 31, 2006, Rob Ashe, the president and CEO ofCognos Incorporated, discussed how his company sets clearaccountability standards and links these standards to the fulfillment of specific corporate objectives.

LEARNING FROM LEADERS
The School of Management is committed to helping studentsreach their full potential—both inside and outside the classroom.To fulfill this pledge, the School continually seeks out partnersthat share an interest in nurturing the next generation of businessleaders. The Mindtrust Association is one of these partners.A group of accomplished senior executives from local high-technology companies, the Mindtrust Association sponsorsnumerous events designed to cultivate and encourage emergingcorporate leaders.

CREATING CONNECTIONS
Since its inception in 2003, the University of Ottawa School ofManagement Career Centre has played a vital role in helpingleading Canadian and multinational corporations connect withthis country’s next generation of business leaders. Fundedentirely by School of Management students, the Career Centreprovides employers with a variety of specialized opportunities tocultivate rewarding professional relationships with our students.
During 2005–2006, several employers and many graduatingstudents benefited from initiatives sponsored and organizedby the Career Centre. Shell Oil Canada hired two School ofManagement students as a direct result of a September 2005information session coordinated by the Career Centre. And inOctober 2005, L’Oreal accessed a substantial pool of bilingualgraduates at the School’s annual Career Convention and endedup taking on four graduating students.
Career Centre events held during the past year have alsostrengthened existing institutional ties between employers andthe School of Management. Edward Jones, consistently applaudedas one of the top employers in Canada, participated in theSchool of Management’s June 2005 MBA Career Network andintends to enhance its corporate presence on campus in theyear to come. Thanks to recent Career Centre initiatives, Royal
Bank of Canada has placed the School of Management on anexclusive list of universities from which it recruits students,and the retail markets division of the Canadian Imperial Bank ofCommerce has made the School of Management the leadingsource of new employees in Eastern Ontario. Furthermore, KraftCanada has added several Career Centre recruitment activi-ties, including the annual Career Convention, to the food andconsumer-products conglomerate’s yearly recruitment drive.
Recruiting officials of these and other organizations hailed the2005 Career Convention as one of the most well-prepared eventsthey had ever attended. In particular, these representativespointed out that it was clearly evident School of Managementstudents had done their homework on the companies in atten-dance—researching current vacancies that interested themand asking questions specific to individual organizations.
In light of these obvious successes and glowing responses, thestaff of the Career Centre should be saluted for their outstand-ing efforts and diligent work. Students should also be thankedfor embracing the worthy objectives of the Career Centre.Together, students and Career Centre staff have establishedthe institution as a vital part of the School of Management,and have made career development an essential component ofa quality business education.

APPRENTICESHIPACCELERATES MBA GRAD’SBUSINESS CAREER
Mélanie Pilon makes no bones about it: she’s anambitious businessperson who expects toachieve great things in her career. But even sheis amazed at what she has accomplished duringthe past year.
During 2005–2006, Mélanie helped revamp acompany’s human-resources program, attendedcorporate events and conferences around theworld, and served as a key player in a multi-billion-dollar corporate takeover bid. Not bad fora new School of Management MBA graduate.
So how did this ambitious young woman makethe leap from the classroom to the boardroom?Early last year, Goldcorp Inc., one of the largest gold producers inNorth America, began searching for a way to recruit new talent.As part of this effort, Ian Telfer, the company’s chief executive offi-cer and School of Management alumnus, met Dean MicheálKelly for a breakfast meeting in the spring of 2005.Conversation drifted to The Apprentice, the hit television showin which real estate tycoon Donald Trump hires a young entre-preneur to work at his side. Mr.Telfer indicated that he would beinterested in trying something similar. Seizing the opportunity,Dean Kelly said he would help Mr. Telfer hire a School ofManagement MBA grad to work as his apprentice atGoldcorp’s head office in Vancouver.
In short order, the School had selected several worthy candidatesfrom its MBA program.A short list of six students was preparedfor Mr. Telfer, who flew to Ottawa in July to interview them.Twofinalists were then flown to Toronto for follow-up interviews,after which Mr. Telfer offered Mélanie the job.
When Mélanie began her tenure at Goldcorp in September 2005,she recognized that she was in a privileged position. But the actualexperience continues to exceed her expectations. As Mr. Telfer’sapprentice, she quickly became immersed in all aspects of cor-porate life—from collaborating with peers and assisting companyexecutives to representing the company internationally at eventsand cultivating new investors. For Mélanie, the most exciting andchallenging task was serving as Goldcorp’s liaison with BarrickGold Corporation in their hostile takeover of Placer Dome Inc.
By playing an active role in numerous components of Goldcorp’soperations, Mélanie took advantage of a unique opportunityto hone the skills she learned at the School of Management and
gain expert knowledge of working life at a prestigious multi-national company. She has also established a network of contactsthat would be the envy of a businessperson twice her age. Butperhaps most important of all, Mélanie’s time at Goldcorp hasenabled her to recognize that she has the skills and drive requiredto achieve her ultimate goal of leading her own enterprise.
When Mélanie began her tenure atGoldcorp in September 2005, she recog-nized that she was in a privileged position.But the actual experience continues toexceed her expectations.
The North American press also took notice of Mélanie’s accom-plishments and her unorthodox rise in the business world, withthe National Post and The Wall Street Journal prominently fea-turing her and the apprentice program in a series of articles.And the experience is not over for Mélanie.Although her tenureas apprentice expires in the summer of 2006, she will remainat Goldcorp and serve as interim director of investor relationsand then join the company’s business development unit.
The experience has not ended for Goldcorp either. Based on thesuccess of this initiative, Mr.Telfer has already chosen next year’sapprentice: Etienne Morin. In the fall, this School of ManagementMBA graduate, ex-investment advisor, retired professional hockeyplayer and former geological researcher, will—like MélaniePilon—use an apprenticeship at Goldcorp to accelerate apromising business career.
