Leclaire, Chief Digital Officer of TC Media. “We are going to set up a
development process that is efficient, well-structured, flexible and agile that

of a small start-up while benefiting from the strategic framework and support

Some development ideas for the TC Media Incubator will be
generated by the TC Transcontinental Innovation Challenge, which
encourages employee teams to brainstorm new concepts. All sources of ideas for
the incubator will be welcome, including ideas from outside the company. Between now and the
official launch of the incubator next November, Mr. Leclaire will be working to
finalize the structure and establish the operating principles. He will soon be
looking for new talent to fill a number of positions that will be created
within this team. As well, an advisory committee of external experts will be
set up to provide objective opinions and recommendations with regard to
proposed concepts.
