Canada: Winning Elections & Leading Digital Economies

Across the teetering world today, often two key questions; which will come first, the next financial crisis or the next election. Some 100 general national elections due within the next 500 days, at least in Canada, the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now calling the next general elections on September 20,2021. Well done, Prime Minister      

Winning elections during pandemics is like adding up the list of hurdles faced by the last Olympics in Japan, but Justin Trudeau will win for the following three reasons.    Understanding the future, as worklessness causes restlessness therefore taking care of citizens and their mental balance will create smooth transition, understanding global affairs, refugee’s crisis of sorts, climate and social justice of kinds and understanding women and minorities.  

The triangulations of the above earned Trudeau the popularity across the world, which also bounced back to the immigrant population of Canada as positive messages from overseas. Canada is the world’s top brand and Trudeau has the right stuff to play in this space.  Other factors, like scattered opposition still inventing anti-campaign without real contents and myopic illusions have a long way to go.  Of course, there were errors and there were apologies, but the experiences and daily front line on camera battles sums up a new majority.  The next toughest frontier is the midsize business economy and via meritocracy Canada has unlimited potential. (Author’s Disclosure; Liberal since last 50 years, harsh critic on policies affecting small medium businesses and lack of entrepreneurial mobilization and exportability)

Nevertheless, globally speaking, the post-pandemic economies are testing new narratives, as the certainty of exotic disruption keeps leadership awake and citizenry on edge.  The world is demanding big changes; therefore, it is no longer important where you sit but rather where you stand.

Two new challenges, mask on face and pockets with holes, when billions wandering amongst broken economies where lack of real value creation crushed against value manipulations shaking the national foundations. Will the jungles of hedge funding provide the ultimate answers to hide behind bushes or the Robin Hoods of sorts so bravely save, or simply laugh at humankind? Pandemic needling already kicked the global public opinion in the wrong place; short on drips, economies of the world already cracking on stress tests, awaiting the black-masked financial collapse appear to kick hard humankind in the wrong place, once again. The stirred but not shaken cocktail of “Remote + Occupation + Living + Health + Trust + Economy + Business + Skills + Future” now showing its lingering potency and hangover.

Ignoring “worklessness” of futurism is less an economic issue rather than an entrepreneurial challenge. While survival of billions of displaced, replaced and misplaced workers advances towards a new ‘worklessness’ of futurism, haunts like a mysterious case study for the academic mind, urgently needed are the entrepreneurial mindsets and real value creation attitudes.  The silence is deep; the confused murmur only clouds clarity of vision.  Over manipulation of economic data by most nations to fit, its own, the national agenda and unlimited printing of currencies, on-again or off-again masking will no longer silence the global populace.

Scream they will 

Two new options; post pandemic recovery pushes all nations towards new thinking.Hidden is the future of global diversity of micro-trade, micro-manufacturing and micro exports to save national economies and save restless citizens from populism. Rise of the midsize economy, nation by nation, yet so feared by the top players of national economy and their subservient policies.

No nation without upskilling will stay in the race, no leadership without meritocracy and mobilization skills will survive. Decipherable only via global logistic chain mindsets, visible only via digitized economies of entrepreneurial mindsets and actionable only via entrepreneurial initiatives, such deployments are meritocratic administrations hungry and global-age leadership starved. This is where mastery of national mobilization of entrepreneurialism on digital platforms of innovative excellence and exportability finds the driver seats. This is also, where new understanding explores the revival of global trade in harmony and blending of upskilling with entrepreneurialism to cement progress.

Two new adjustments, the secrets of evolution hidden in the elimination of “Economic-Myopia” when all focused on just local and internal economics. Too much focus just on local limitations, while ignoring global-age mobilization and entrepreneurial advancements and not exploring collaborative synthesizing engaging extremely large populated worlds are just entrapments. Exploring globalization and buying powers of sorts, therefore needed are new mindsets with less reading of newspapers and more gazing at world-atlas. Binoculars are not for looking at feet but searching beyond the horizon. Digital divide is a mental divide; rejection of change and progress is fear of competition and fear of entrepreneurialism is fear of exposing levels competency, therefore, the post covid economies are not about numbers, and they are all entrepreneurial gusto, deep immersion needed to differentiate the new powers and “global borderless- competitiveness” 

The search for fearless warriors, identify the frontline teams on national economic developments and differentiate on the lack of understanding on national mobilization of entrepreneurialism, now absence of such a liability to national economic survival. If there are some 200 nations in the race and some 10,000 cities on the line, there are some 100,000-trade-associations, there are some 11,000 chambers and they alone have 45 million members. Why are such numbers important, as most trade groups and national ministries of trade and commerce, export promotion agencies despite decades of existence have grossly missed digitization, not as their fault, but rather too focused on arbitration and trade-facilitation-paperwork mindset? What would it take to create a new mindset; ready to uplift small midsize economy on digital platforms, as these institutions are already halfway there?

The Four Players of Small Business Economies:  One: Founders are the true entrepreneurial risk-takers, job-creators and grassroots prosperity fertilizers. Two: National trade groups and chambers are the umbrella where such founders gather to improve trade-flows.  Three: National governments collecting taxes from founders are policy makers to improve the trades.  Four: Customers are the buyers that prove the validity of the existence of that small medium enterprise, study more on Google

Facts from across the world; normally, founders of small medium businesses are outcast as out of the box thinkers, risk-takers and not large enough contributors on photo-op trails. Trade associations and chambers treat them for being too small to pay what big corporations pay in membership fees. National economic developments prefer just the lip service compared to how they serve the big corporate players. Customers of small medium businesses are appreciative and loyal to businesses ONLY with superior performances, quality of goods and services of real value.

Why is it so important? These are the four groups constituting four pillars, each with special characters, each needing special handling and not just bundled as “SME Crisis” of sorts, brushed under the rug repeatedly, since the last many decades. This is also not about some flag raising ceremony at local city hall; gala-plastic-award-dinner-night or declaring a flag covered SME week, none of this will work in post pandemic recovery.  National mobilization of entrepreneurialism will uplift midsize business economies and create critically needed growth.

The rest is easy

Naseem Javed, a Canadian born in a printing publishing family of small merchants, settled over two centuries surrounding the Red Fort in Chandni Chowk, Delhi, India. Educated and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, and arrived in Canada fifty years ago. He spent years at the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics and learned how to create and develop global-stature organizations and events. Acquired global experiences, serviced dozens of Fortune 500 companies as a senior advisor over 25 years, and learned how to commercialize, monetize, and popularize complex ideas globally. Later, in 2000, Naseem took a sabbatical when he noticed markets lost the art of value creation and adopted value manipulation when one million dollar turnover factories traded as 100 million dollar operations in stock exchanges. He took all his high-value knowledge and experiences, placed them in a shoe box, and almost free for the world's 100 million Small and Medium Enterprises. He developed The National Mobilization of Entrepreneurialism Protocols. The rest is history. Now highlighted as a corporate philosopher, the Chair of Expothon Worldwide, and recognized authority on new economic thinking, where the mobilization of small and medium business entrepreneurialism is tabled as the savior of already struggling economies. Expothon has been sharing weekly information with some 2,000 senior officials at the Cabinet level in around 100 countries for the last 50 to 100 weeks. The narratives are an open challenge to current economic development and offer pragmatic solutions and new thinking on mobilizing the untapped talents of the national citizenry.
