here are our best thoughts.

because it can bring additional insight as to how we can help better serve our citizenry.

how did you convince them that you weren't just telling them the same story?

because although the average score was c plus for all 16 cities five years ago, and it was the same today-

1383
Male
... certain cities improved by quite a bit in their performance.

but one thing we found was that for the three cities that did exceptionally well.

edmonton, regina, and toronto, it illustrates that it can be done.

1383

you can improve performance meaningfully to a fairly high level.

3.4

and that is to make these cities more resilient to the big storms that are hitting today.

what do you say to those faculty members who feel like it cheapens the research?

-through floods and fires and other forms of extreme weather risk driven by climate change.
O
3.8

and i'd like your support in conducting the research and in operationalizing the findings of that research.

about four or five years and then everything seemed to be going well, and he said-

5.2
3.4

1383
Male
he said, "well, i would like funding to create a research center, dedicated funding for a minimum of five years to hire smart people to help us drive this-"
N
5.2
3.8
4.8
1383
Male
it was pretty straightforward. he and i are both very much on the same page that there is one measure of success.
N
5.4
3.6

well, because i think we're slowly moving the ball forward.

but the big ones there, there's about 14 or 15 that control 65%-

... of the market and then intact is the biggest by far around more or less 20%.
N

1383
Male
for the federal government, the better it is for the insurers.
O
3.6
4.2
3.8
1383
Male
absolutely everybody wins by getting risk out of the system. by the way, just-
A
4.4
2.8
4.2
1383
Male
... dealing with the extreme weather risk that's on the ground here now and coming in the future-
O
4.2
3.8
4.6
1383
Male
... we have, for example at the university of waterloo-
N
4.8

4.6
1383
Male
... a lot of really, really smart people working on also how to lower the discharge of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
X
5.4
3.8
5.4
1383
Male
so there's a lot of smart people working on that part of the equation.
N
4
4.6

1383

so i knew right away there's nothing we could contribute to that.
N

how do you convince people that you're autonomous?

generally speaking, it's 40, 50, 60 people from government ngos.

4.6

1383
Male
i would say the average report has 40, 50, 60 people sign off on it.
X
4.4
3.8
5.4
1383
Male
so it's almost testimony instantaneously to the fact that there's an awful lot of people that are supporting the thinking that's expressed-
X
4.2
4
4.6
1383
Male
it also carries a negative tone to it in business circles as well.
X
4.6
3.8
4.6
1383
Male
which is arguably i would say one of the top two or three universities in the country that-
N
4.8
3.8
4.4
1383
Male
... commands respect. it carries rigor and dispassionate third party research.
O
4.4
3.2
5
1383
Male
so you've got business acumen and-
N
4.4
3.4

... third party adaptation credible research all rolled into one package.

we've been supported by manulife. we're supported by lots of factions of government, standards council of canada.
N
4.2
4.4
4.2
1383
Male
by the way, we have never responded to an rfp. when we want support for a project, we think, "does this project make sense?"
X
5.2
3.4
5
1383
Male
number two, we think who might want to be supportive of this because quite frankly they will benefit from the outcome of the research?
O
5.2
4.6
5
1383
Male
the benefits will accrue to the greater global commons as well.
N
5.2

i just go directly almost always to the president and ceo of whatever organization it is and say, "this is what we want to do."

the people in the corporate world at the very-

they may say, "look it, i'm not the right person in the organization for you to speak with about this, but-

... i'm going to give it to a senior vice-president and get them to follow up." and you go meet with them and-

and if they bite, they bite. if they don't, you move on to the next.

don't go to middle management or senior or junior level.
