Alaisdar Graham – Executive Counselor
My passion is working with IT leaders to help them solve their technology challenges and build high-performing teams. This passion has been derived from helping governments, companies, and people around the world in various IT leadership positions. My goal is to provide those I counsel with an enjoyable experience through building trusted advisor relationships, creating realizable business benefits, and driving continuous improvement through exceptional delivery. |
Graham Price – Executive Counselor My experience spans both public and private industry sectors, with the most rewarding experiences being those where I have shared my experience and knowledge to help people go beyond managing transformational changes in their working environment to facilitate the change needed to adapt and adopt new technologies and industry best practices. My role at Info-Tech enables me to continue to share my experience and knowledge, supported by an incredible organization of thought leaders across all areas of information technology and management. |
Benoit Proulx – Executive Advisor and Research Specialist I served in the Canadian military for more than 35 years before transitioning to the Canadian federal public service in senior roles in information technology sector. There is nothing I enjoy more than continuously learning how to transform IT operations with business imperatives and helping others realize the benefits of technology. French is my first language, which helps me ensure nothing is lost in translation for our members in Québec. |
Nor are we alone! Canada literally means it takes a village. Info-Tech has built our presence across Canada, including in our nation’s capital, Ottawa, serving many government organizations.

Our perspective on the current state of Digital Government in Canada
Our mission is driven by the need for continuous innovation in government programs and service delivery. The pandemic drove unprecedented demand for digital services, and Canadians now expect more and better from government – escalating the need for the federal government to tackle its growing technical debt and driving forward with structured, continual enterprise modernization. Universal digital identity is just the first step in redefining how governments in Canada leverage technology as an integral part of a transformation of the experiences of businesses, citizens, and our global partners. Harmonization and synthesis of how enterprise services are delivered, maintained, and renewed is a key area of focus for the Canadian federal government. Artificial intelligence is rapidly seen as an catalyst, but we see the need for Canadian Public Sector IT leaders to adopt an Exponential IT Mindset. We’re here to help them embrace radical transformation in IT’s mission, governance, autonomization of core Business and IT capabilities and change how we partner with the community, vendors, and government leaders. Four major priorities have emerged in our work with Canadian IT leaders:
