The Centre for Innovative & Entrepreneurial Leadership (CIEL) offers a range of tools and services tailored to the unique needs of communities. Current users include rural communities, First Nations communities, satellite communities and remote communities throughout Canada. To date, custom tools like the Business Vitality Initiative, the Communities Matrix, and the new Community Vitality Initiative, and have helped communities work with their unique challenges while building on undeveloped opportunities and strengths. They are delivered by a skilled CIEL Team who regularly work with communities, organizations and governments at the municipal, regional, provincial, and national levels.
In addition to current tools and services, CIEL is also creating new ones. Powered by the commitment to linking research to action, CIEL is continually reworking existing tools, customizing tools as needed for new context(s), while also developing new innovations.
