3. The OG100 Model
The Ontario Global 100 (OG100) model
is simple.
We connect CEOs from successful,
mid-sized companies together with
Canada’s top business leaders so they
can learn directly from those who have
already succeeded in growing a global
company from Canada.
Our members have the knowledge and
know-how and the desire to share it.

4. Successful CEOs know
growth is critical for
survival.
But the path to growth for
mid-sized companies is not
without its challenges.
Yet large companies,
with the benefit of time,
expertise and additional
resources, are able to
move faster and navigate
opportunities with
greater ease.

5. To accelerate growth of
mid-sized companies,
Ontario Global 100 creates
opportunities for leaders of
high potential companies to
learn directly from some of
Canada’s most successful
CEOs.
Learning directly from those
who have walked the path
and offer a guiding hand
means our members grow
faster, go further, achieve
more and are ready for the
next challenge as they grow
their companies.

Global 100.
Connect with
Experience.

6. CEO-2-CEO Learning
Succeeding in global markets takes time. But what
if you could shorten the time to success by learning
from those who have gone before you?
Direct access to CEOs who have firsthand market
experience allows members to better understand
market size, demand and profit potential; legal and
political factors; cultural differences and business
norms; labour and infrastructure and even the local
supplier network.
Plus our focus on small, intimate meetings means
members have the opportunity to engage with
some of Canada’s leading CEOs on real issues they
are facing today.
No moderators. No consultants.
Just CEOs sharing their experiences.
