This session is about businesses that want to use data to make decisions. As a group we will discuss the difficulties of accessing, linking, and reporting from multiple sources of data. Interactive Reports built in either Microsoft’s Power Pivot (Excel) or Power BI Desktop offer a shorter, straighter pathway to improve efficiency and accuracy. The best part is that Excel is on most computers, and experienced staff can quickly learn to use both products. Digital Nova Scotia has been helping the Tourism industry in Nova Scotia with digital marketing tools. Dunvegan will use a Restaurant example to demonstrate Interactive Reports to measure business activity and to help make more informed decisions. The reports will look at revenue and expenses by: Categories & sub-categories Products & sub-products Trends Impact of special occasions Forecast vs actual Meet your presenters..

But the IP strategy for natural products and processes can be particularly tricky to navigate. In this session, you'll hear practical strategies and insights from IP expert, Noel Courage of Bereskin Parr, and learn how to access free IP resources through Canada's Elevate IP program. This session will help you: • Gain awareness of the challenges and potential barriers to patenting a biobased or nature-derived innovation • Fill in knowledge gaps around IP strategies for trade secrets, patents, and trademarks • Identify product and process developments that may justify patenting versus keeping a trade secret • Help you articulate your IP strategy to stakeholders • Learn how to access IP resources through the new national program, Elevate IP As a special bonus, Noel will answer select questions submitted in advance by NPC members.
