Calling for Change
Unique in both scope and perspective, Calling for Change investigates the status of women within the Canadian legal profession ten years after the first national report on the subject was published by the Canadian Bar Association. Elizabeth Sheehy and Sheila McIntyre bring together essays that investigate a wide range of topics, from the status of women in law schools, the practising bar, and on the bench, to women's grassroots engagement with law and with female lawyers from the frontlines. Contributors not only reflect critically on the gains, losses, and barriers to change of the past decade, but also provide blueprints for political action. Academics, community activists, practitioners, law students, women litigants, and law society benchers and staff explore how egalitarian change is occurring and/or being impeded in their particular contexts. Each of these unique voices offers lessons from their individual, collective, and institutional efforts to confront and counter the interrelated forms of systemic inequality that compromise women's access to education and employment equity within legal institutions and, ultimately, to equal justice in Canada. Published in English.

Analytics in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: The Why and the How of Using Analytics to Unleash the Power of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is a significant development in the technological landscape, and it is poised to be a veritable game-changer for all concerned. Given globalization and the winner-take-all market dynamics, there is a “superstar” effect at play in most markets, where a select few companies capture a lion’s share of the market, as well as the profit. Given this environment, Analytics goes from becoming a “good to have” to a “must have” if organizations are to take this opportunity to leverage the power of artificial intelligence and other adjacent technologies in an impactful manner. In this book, Priyo Chatterjee, drawing on his years of experience in the Analytics and Data Science space, takes a methodical approach to Analytics by first demonstrating why it has become so critical in “The Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Then he shows how companies can become more Analytical and, thereby, successful in deploying artificial intelligence strategies.
Broken
Many of the systems built to serve people instead do more harm than good. In Broken, Dr. Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University, draws on his experience working in one such system—education—to reconnect us to the human facets of serving people. In doing so, he charts a course for rebuilding and reinhabiting better systems across education, healthcare, criminal justice, government, and more. The United States spends enormous sums on helping people—$3.8 trillion on healthcare, $182 billion on prisons, and $604 billion on higher education—and yet these systems routinely fail us. When we seek to improve how they function, our efforts focus on policy debates, technic...
Jean de Grandpré
Visionary leader and businessman Jean de Grandpré has earned many nicknames: he is known variously as the Simplifier, the Architect, and the Strategist. A lawyer when he joined Bell Canada in 1966, he went on to build a telecommunications empire that spanned the continent, crossing paths with politicians, moguls, and philanthropists along the way. Beginning as Bell’s general counsel, de Grandpré quickly rose through the corporate ranks and became president in 1973. A few years later he created Bell Canada Enterprises, one of America’s largest telecommunications companies.

Jean de Grandpré - L’héritage d’un géant
Leader visionnaire, l’avocat et homme d’affaires Jean de Grandpré a connu une carrière exceptionnelle. Entré chez Bell en 1966 à titre de chef du contentieux, il a rapidement gravi les échelons de l’entreprise et en est devenu président dès 1973. Quelques années plus tard, il créait BCE, l’une des plus importantes entreprises de télécommunications en Amérique. Gestionnaire et administrateur mondialement reconnu, il a siégé au sein de conseils d’administration de multiples entreprises, tant au Canada qu’à l’étranger. Philanthrope aussi généreux que discret, il est engagé dans de multiples oeuvres caritatives, notamment auprès de la Fondation Papillon, qui vient en aide aux enfants handicapés. Danielle Stanton et Hervé Anctil retracent le parcours admirable de cet homme d’influence qui, à 98 ans bien sonnés, demeure très actif. Ce récit se veut une source d’inspiration pour les nouvelles générations d’hommes et de femmes d’affaires.
