Lecture 1 - Core Productivity Drivers and Diagnostics
Lecture 2 - Challenges and Opportunities for Canada's Standard of Living
On June 16, 2026, Savvas Chamberlain, Founder and CEO of EXEL Research Inc., delivered a special lecture at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) Campus in Waterloo, Ontario. Throughout his distinguished career as a business leader, entrepreneur, and researcher, Savvas has witnessed firsthand the gradual decline in Canada's productivity and its impact on the country's economic prosperity. In this thought-provoking lecture, Canada's Prosperity Depends on Turning Innovation into Productivity, he shares his observations on the factors contributing to Canada's productivity challenges and outlines practical actions that governments, businesses, academic institutions, and individuals can take to reverse the trend. Attached is the script from this lecture.
