Strategically Engaged with Minnikin Resources Inc.

Digital Nova Scotia member, Minnikin Resources Inc. works primarily with boards and senior leadership teams to understand and address culture, engagement, social responsibility and technology. Minnikin Resources work with start-ups to establish the governance structures, processes and practices needed to be strong and flexible as they grow. They help established boards adopt a mature technology stance by providing them with education, training, evaluation, and succession planning. Transforming Businesses ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategies are a critical component of success for boards and c-suites. Minnikin Resources helps leadership teams:
- understand, oversee and influence organizational culture

Understanding Diverse Experiences Working with a wide range of organizations such as Publicly traded, QUANGOs/ Crown Corps, Regulators, Heath Care, Not For Profits, Professional Associations and start-ups in Canada, the EU, the UK and Bermuda, Minnikin understands governance and technology from all of the different perspectives: founder, board member, investor, supplier, customer, and regulator. COVID-19 dramatically shifted their business. While travel restrictions shut some parts down entirely, others have accelerated. They continue to deliver value to their clients and partners.
COVID-19 hasn’t so much changed what we do as accelerated it. Companies were already starting to understand the importance of ESG and corporate culture. But the pace of adapting to this new reality has picked up considerably. We’re seeing many more organizations accepting ESG as an imperative. Boards are turning their attention to it and devoting resources to it, and we help them to structure and approach it strategically. - Paula Minnikin, Partner and Principal at Minnikin Resources Inc.
