Innovation is only as strong as the knowledge behind it and knowledge only creates value when it evolves through innovation. In this session, we will explore why you cannot have one without the other: how structured knowledge fuels smarter solutions, and how innovation transforms information into practical impact. Through real-world examples and practical strategies, we will show how aligning knowledge and innovation creates a continuous cycle of improvement and strengthens client service, efficiency and competitive advantage.

• WHEN: Wednesday, April 8^th, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
• WHERE: English Bay Boardroom @ Funk Coffee Bar (1025 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver, BC V7X 1M5)
