For your convenience, the BC OD Network has instituted an online registration
system that allows us to streamline the registration process and to take
credit card payments online. This is a safe and secure system via SPORG Online
Registration Solutions. The SPORG site provides SSL security – all transactions
on the SPORG site are secure. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology is the
industry-standard protocol for secure, Web-based communications. In addition,
SPORG has a number of firewall layers between the SPORG database and the
outside world so your data is secure as well. They do not store any credit
card information in their database. SPORG utilizes all the most current technical
innovations to keep your information secure as well as utilizing proprietary
fraud detection processes to ensure the safety of your financial transactions.

Canada’s demographics already are impacting the ability of organizations to
do business at current and planned for levels. There are frequent reports on
chronic and systemic skill shortages in the marketplace. These are been driven
by: an aging population, economic activity, and changes in immigration. All
knowledgeable experts indicate that these pressures will continue to strengthen
for the foreseeable future. Those giving advice suggest that organizations
need to improve their attraction and retention practices. Yet there is an underlying
awareness that these will not be enough for many organizations.

On February 23rd you will have an opportunity to begin to think about and
act upon this issue differently. You will be provided an alternative conceptual
framework and an opportunity to explore its application through a case study.
You will leave with a systems approach and a modified idea generation tool
that you can use in your OD practice.
