Thinkers, collaborators, innovators.

We are CBRIC.

We are a band of consultants and freelancers who organized ourselves as a nonprofit to take on the challenge of defining and being the first to benefit from the next most optimal evolution of the corporate structure and employment arrangements. Our methodology is to determine, test, implement and perfect these new structures through our very own proprietary system of Intelligence Collaboration.

 

The objective of all of our efforts is to increase business, investments and employment in the community. At CBRIC, we believe that the next form of the corporation will be largely influenced by and actually benefit from being a community based business structure.

Innovation means change.

At CBRIC, we collaborate and engage with businesses, employees and entrepreneurs to investigate, define, validate, and successfully implement innovations in conducting and growing businesses in Canada. While we see the dangers of what is going on around us, we also see opportunities to innovate, pioneer in a new direction and succeed.

Business Enabling Services

We recognize the need to help businesses with the repetitive and standard day-to-day operations that takes the focus of entrepreneurs away from delivering on their core competence. To meet that need, we provide Business Enabling Services that focus on helping businesses professionalize affordably through resource sharing and collaborations.

Spirit of continuous innovation

Through the Thought Leaders Forums provided to the community at large and to employees in their offices, CBRIC promotes the why and how of continuous innovation in their businesses and workplaces and create this Spirit of Continuous Innovation.
