=== Scan club ===
Scan Club is a forum where we present and discuss weak signals discovered during an environment scan (articles, documentaries,etc.). A weak signal is an indicator of a potentially emerging disruption that may become significant in the future. During the session, the analyst first presents the weak signal. Then, ask for questions and considerations. Finally, we push the weak signals out to the future to flag the potential changes this signal could bring to the world if it became significant. Contact us at EDSC.InnovationRH-HRInnovation.ESDC@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca for more information.
