CC10 - Canadian Market Opportunity and Business Model Analysis for a Climate Change Impact Content Portal
Project start and end dates:
2019-09-16 to 2020-01-31
Justin investigated the market opportunity for a Climate Change Impact Planning software product in Canada. We are extremely satisfied with the result.
He provided clear, exhaustively researched and logical insight that gave us the conclusions we needed to justify continued investment in the business case.
His work was based on not only substantial secondary research but also the creation, delivery, and analysis of a survey. He proved adept at networking and communicating with respondents from a wide variety of backgrounds, organizations, and interests.
We have now embarked on extensive problem-solution interviewing that is informed by his findings and largely run by him (although his Riipen project is now finished, we continue to work with him on a co-op term, which is a testament to the value of his work).
Justin always demonstrates enthusiasm, creativity and insight, is friendly and a pleasure to work with. He is a credit to the Smith School of Business and I highly recommend him.
Thank
You!

Software can help the world respond to climate change impacts and disasters.
In 2019 we set out to investigate if there is a need for a solution that gives citizens personalized help preparing for and recovering from climate change impacts and lets trusted authorities assist them and report on their results.
As part of this effort, a great deal of market and technical research was conducted over the last few years. Over 140 students have been involved so far, in dozens of academic institutions in Canada and internationally.
Our greatest finding is the willingness of citizens to take responsibility and help themselves, their neighbors and community plan for, mitigate and recover from climate change impacts and disasters. We also confirmed that a software solution can be built to help overcome the barriers they face when trying to do so.
Now we’re working on a prototype and sharing our findings and progress. Find out more on our OASIS project website!

A Riipen Project
Riipen is your online platform for virtual project-based learning
Get hands-on support from our students through an in-class project or virtual internship.
- In-class projects allow you to connect with one of our educators to embed your project into the students’ curriculum. Become the real-life case study for students in the classroom!
- Virtual internships are similar to in-person internships, except they are project-based with a clear outcome and the engagement is primarily done online.
