Regina Chapter

Agenda:

·  2:00 - 2:10 pm: FMI Victoria AGM

·  2:10 - 3:00 pm: PwC Canada session "How COVID driven behaviour shifts will re-shape the economic landscape"

The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to address it have triggered a once-in-a-generation shock to ground-level consumer and household behaviour. Citizens across the economy are adopting new (often digital and socially distant) behaviours and re-evaluating the choices they make around how they spend, the channels they engage through and how they work. Over the medium term, we believe the “behaviour shock” that’s underway across the economy will start to create significant impacts across industry sectors (some will recover, while others will face a longer road to recovery), job categories (some will be more resilient than others) and geographies.
 
As these behaviour shifts begin to transmit through the economy, there will almost certainly be new challenges and opportunities for transformation. Internally, new ways of working will likely need to evolve. Externally, how citizens engage with government and industry will probably change significantly. Strategically, the COVID-19 pandemic will likely trigger significant debate about the affordability of current program choices and service delivery models, requiring finance teams to deliver new insights at a greater pace, under rising uncertainty.

Please join PwC for a discussion on leading practices on how you can prepare as COVID impacts the Public Sector.

The session will be an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to analyze and pose a diagnostic on key design aspects of their budgeting process and acquire a few optimization tips to bring back to their organization.
