They are essential, but they usually look in the rear-view mirror. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barometer proposes a complementary approach: directly gathering perceptions, intentions and signals from the people who make day-to-day decisions in New Brunswick businesses.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach aims to better anticipate what&#8217;s to come, rather than simply analyzing what&#8217;s already happened.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By regularly measuring business leaders&#8217; morale, concerns and intentions, the Barometer aims to become a benchmark tool for monitoring the province&#8217;s business climate.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A tool designed for New Brunswick businesses<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barometer is aimed at owners, CEOs, managers and senior executives of New Brunswick companies, regardless of size, sector or region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions include<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>economic outlook;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>investment intentions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>workforce issues;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>innovation and productivity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the adoption of new technologies;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>organizations&#8217; strategic priorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey is available in English and French, is anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach has been designed to respect managers&#8217; time, while providing useful data for the entire business community.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A direct contribution to provincial business intelligence<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For INNOV, this initiative is fully in line with its mission: to support innovation, accompany organizations and contribute to New Brunswick&#8217;s economic development through applied research.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barometer is not just about producing statistics. It seeks to transform perceptions and realities on the ground into useful information for companies, economic development organizations, institutions and public decision-makers. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greater the participation, the more representative and useful the results will be for understanding the province&#8217;s economic dynamics.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results will then be shared with the business community to fuel economic discussions and support better decision-making.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why take part?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participating in the Barometer means contributing to a more accurate portrait of the reality of New Brunswick businesses.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also an opportunity to voice the priorities, concerns and ambitions of companies in a context where economic decisions must be based on concrete data.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants will also receive a summary of the results before they are made public.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A collective project to better understand New Brunswick&#8217;s economy<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barometer is based on collaboration between partners who share a common goal: to better understand the New Brunswick economy through the eyes of those who bring it to life on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By mobilizing the province&#8217;s English- and French-speaking business networks, this initiative is helping to build a common, useful and sustainable tool for tracking changes in the business climate.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business leaders are invited to take part in the survey now.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Participate in the New Brunswick Business Leaders Barometer.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/CCNBINNOV\/Barometer-NB-2026\">Get involved<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an economic context marked by uncertainty, technological transformations, workforce issues and pressures that directly affect companies, a better understanding of the reality on the ground becomes essential.
