Testimonials
“CMHC engaged IOG to discuss providing a customized training path for newer employees. As we discussed our needs, IOG suggested other possible topics to help round out our training that we had yet to consider. In the end, IOG delivered a very robust, well-received curriculum. Working with Francois, Marina, Lynn, and their instructors was a great experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.”
– Jennifer Braid, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)
“I am a better public servant from my time spent learning and connecting with my peers in the IOG’s virtual Executive Leadership Program. The program facilitators and IOG staff brought together an incredible learning experience for us while also responding to my and my peers’ needs throughout. The depth of knowledge and experience that the facilitators brought was inspirational. I couldn’t have asked for better facilitators — I was extremely honoured to have had the opportunity to be a part of this program.”

“I really enjoyed it – it was a great opportunity to network and get a better understanding from the GC perspective and see how we can lead our organizations as the digital transformation continues. Really inspired me to do some small, incremental changes and start changing the culture within my own teams. It certainly does provide me with a level of comfort and network of resources to whom I am able to reach out to.”
