Svantaggi
There is a growing disconnect between EDC’s internal KPI metrics and Canada’s external economic challenges. While national productivity and trade competitiveness face headwinds, the organization consistently remains focused on volume-based KPIs (customer counts and capital deployment) that have shown over the last decade not to improve Canada's trade standing. This "volume-first" approach often prioritizes high-velocity, lower-impact transactions over the complex, transformational opportunities that could fundamentally move the needle for Canadian exporters and lift the Canadian economy. For employees, this creates a high-pressure "output" culture that feels disconnected from the actual mandate. To remain a global leader among Export Credit Agencies, the organization needs to pivot away from chasing low-value short-term targets and refocus on high-value, strategic support for the next wave of Canadian innovators.
