“There is no other program that I know of which provides so much value to entrepreneurs as the CMC NRC-IRAP MAS program. The MAS program’s allotted 40 hours spent with a certified management consultant can accelerate a new technology company’s trajectory to the next important milestone of development and growth. The program is also beneficial to the CMC consultant in that a significant and lasting client relationship is established, in many ways, beyond the MAS engagement – a win/win for both parties. This is so important in helping innovation flourish and thrive in Canada.”
"I have been a longstanding deliverer of MAS programs.
I have very much enjoyed working with a wide range of companies in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors on various types of challenges that they were facing related to growth and market selection/development. These projects have allowed me to apply principles and expertise that I have honed over more than twenty years of strategic management consulting practice."
"As a business advisor and former venture capitalist, it has been my experience that, although many business leaders want to grow their companies, they lack the experience of how to do so. Good advice isn’t just helpful along the way; it is a key starting point to ensure that the right business model, strategy, and plan are in place, to guide implementation and subsequent growth strategies, including raising capital. The NRC-IRAP MAS program is a great way to bring the power of practical advice to business leaders, including those who may be experiencing it for the first time."
"Entrepreneurs / inventors are often challenged to understand, and then to strategize, a "path to market" for their product or service. This is where the NRC-IRAP MAS program can be very helpful to business owners who are in the technology space. The program matches a business owner with a CMC to help them have a better understanding of their market. I’ve been involved with the MAS program for over 20 years and I'm always happy to bring our business knowledge to help businesses in a trusting and confidential manner."
