About Leading Thinkers
T4G’s Leading Thinkers series is a group of events that will lead to action. It’s about bringing together leading thinkers and doers to explore and push the boundaries of business organization, sustainability, communication, innovation, and social responsibility.
In plain language, the series strives to bring together both researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. It gets them talking, exchanging ideas and making concrete plans for change.
It's just a marvellous idea and it’s going to provide inspiration to an awful lot of people
WHAT KIND OF CHANGE?
As a group, we collectively envision revitalized communities, clearer communication channels, great strides forward in business practices that focus on sustainability, looking after children who might need support in getting an education and technological innovation that serves the greater good.
Leading Thinker events will range from lunch meetings to two-day brainstorms. They’ll spread throughout the country, wherever smart people gather.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO T4G?
At T4G, we serve our customers and our communities throughout Canada. Our employees from Nova Scotia to British Columbia to Maine know there’s more to our business and our lives than making a profit. We all want to make a difference. We believe Leading Thinkers will make that difference.
Anything that stimulates discussion and gets you out of the office is a good thing...this is where the synapses happen

LIFE AND WORK AT T4G
Geoff Flood has provided T4G with leadership, vision and strategic direction since its inception.
Geoff believes in setting up shop in communities across Canada and in the United States. That’s why T4G has locations in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia and Maine.
He believes a successful company depends upon bright, enthusiastic and content employees who live exactly where they want to be.
"We need to go to where they are, where they want to live, where they are most productive, where they are happiest," he told the Globe and Mail in 2009.
He also believes on delivering the best, most efficient and smartest solutions to clients.
We do think, naively or not, that we can change the world.
As President of T4G, Geoff is the company visionary and leader. He sets direction for, and assures, final responsibility for client and employee satisfaction, growth and well being.

During his time there he had executive responsibility for the information assets of the Dylex group of companies.
