Inaugural Generative AI Montreal Meetup and the Importance of CommunityBlog

ScalePad hosted the first Generative AI Montreal MeetupMarch 28th marked a milestone for the Montreal AI community, ScalePad proudly hosted the first Generative AI Montreal Meetup at our Montreal studio. This event holds a special place in my heart, as it signifies a culmination of collaboration and innovation within the tech community. It all began at ConFoo in February, where serendipity brought Farid Bellameche, Director of Generative AI at CGI, across my path. Our encounter sparked the idea for this groundbreaking event to take place at ScalePad studio. This event resonates with me the feeling of the early days of JS-Montreal when mobile and web responsiveness were new things and everything was in front of us to be built.The first Generative AI Montreal Meetup Event at ScalePad Studio Led by Farid and co-organized by Xavier Bouclet, co-founder of Digit'Owl, the event drew over 50 tech enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. Xavier kickstarted the evening with insightful perspectives

The Strategic QBR Process: How to Achieve Shared AccountabilityBlog

Way too often, the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) is treated as a sales activity – an opportunity to get in front of your clients and sell them new warranties and products. Unfortunately, also way too often, MSPs don’t have the proper action plan in place for their QBRs and end up putting in plenty of effort but end up getting low results in return. The desire is to change to a low effort, high return business review should be the goal of every MSP. To do that, MSPs need to change their focus around the QBR.
