Guide to business disruption and opportunities.
Guide to business disruption and opportunities.
Welcome to the inaugural edition of The SPARK Catalyst, CTR’s online guide to business disruptions and opportunities, for today’s top leaders, innovators and investors.
There’s no escape from the multiple intersecting crises that face organizations today, from technology overload and fractured marketplaces to the climate crisis and increasing competition. But the best leaders see obstacles as opportunities, which create ideal environments for change, innovation and new growth.
Written by business professionals who challenge the status quo, The SPARK Catalyst will be more than a place to find bold ideas and renewed inspiration. It’s a collaborative platform, where you can share your best strategies and solutions with like-minded peers from around the world.

Month after month, SPARK will focus on transformative ideas, advice and case studies to help you and your team move faster, solve macro and micro problems, and create a more confident, sustainable, leading-edge organization. Don’t fear the future – build it!
SPARK is a product of CTR Inc., a Toronto-based firm committed to future-proofing North American businesses and their leaders. Our multi-disciplined experts in foresight and business strategy, technology, energy and communications will be your guides to building stronger organizations and resilient communities that can thrive amid turmoil and transitions.
Why The SPARK Catalyst? Why now?
The world needs solution-based straight talk about the challenges ahead of us, innovative ideas and upbeat approaches. Amid the tsunami of complex disruptions and negative news that impact us every day, we need to share positive solutions and effective, visionary initiatives.
When macro challenges are organized into manageable issues and empowering actions, we can break the cycle of overwhelm and hopelessness that dominate today’s headlines and too many businesses. Focusing on solutions and opportunities can spark individual and collective creativity, boost collaboration, and empower hope and change.
This is the purpose of The SPARK Catalyst.
