What attribute defines CGI at 50 and continues to help clients build what’s next?

According to Stephen S. Poloz, CGI Board Member and former Governor of the Bank of Canada, it starts with proximity to clients.

Mr. Poloz shares his perspective on the principles that continue to guide CGI—working side-by-side with clients, staying close to their challenges, and becoming part of their teams rather than operating at a distance.

He also reflects on CGI’s opportunity to help improve public service delivery around the world. Public services play an important role in enabling growth across the broader economy, and CGI’s ability to apply its expertise—particularly in areas such as digital transformation and artificial intelligence—can create meaningful impact.

Looking ahead, Mr. Poloz speaks to the value CGI continues to build and the significance of growing a global company rooted in Canada. His perspective underscores how trust, partnership and long-term thinking position CGI as it continues building what’s next.
