Expansion Strategies analyzed the most recent international studies which included the attitudes and perceptions of Board Members and administrators of companies regarding the place of digitalization in these organizations and their role in that evolution. A Survey of certified administrators in Canada and France was carried out by a polling firm BIP which allowed to understand better their level of sensitivity towards the new digital technologies and their impact on their sector and organization.

This material was presented at an up-dating session of the certified administrators of Quebec, Ontario and of France and became part of the training of the new administrators.
