Strategic advisory and board governance for technology, innovation, and growth companies in Canada and Latin America.
Strategic advisory and board governance for technology, innovation, and growth companies in Canada and Latin America.
The organizations that thrive in the next decade will be the ones that govern with intention, embrace digital transformation honestly, and build boards that ask the right questions before the wrong ones get asked.
Move Add Change is the consulting and advisory practice of Paul Desjardins — a board director and strategic advisor with 30+ years of experience at the intersection of enterprise technology, governance, and market growth.
Paul currently serves as a Board Member at the Ontario Centre of Innovation and as incoming Board Director at Sierra Sun Group, where he led the formation of the company's first board of directors and is advising on TSX capital market readiness and Latin American operations.
Through Move Add Change, Paul works with SME innovators, technology companies, internet service providers, and mining companies who need experienced, independent thinking on governance, strategy, and digital transformation.
The name says it all. Move — because standing still isn't a strategy. Add — because every engagement should leave an organization measurably better. Change — because the path most organizations are on needs challenging.
Strategic Advisory You're building something. Markets are shifting, competition is intensifying, and the decisions you make in the next 12 months will define the next five years. Move Add Change provides senior advisory support to CEOs and executive teams navigating digital strategy, AI adoption, market entry, and organizational growth — with particular depth in Canadian and Latin American markets.
Board Governance & Formation A great board doesn't happen by accident. Whether you're forming your first board, restructuring an existing one, or preparing for a capital markets listing, Move Add Change brings hands-on governance experience to help you build a board that adds real value — not just compliance cover. Services include governance framework design, director recruitment guidance, and ongoing board advisory.
Digital Transformation & AI Adoption Most organizations know they need to transform. Few have a clear-eyed view of where to start, what to prioritize, and how to govern the process. Move Add Change helps leadership teams cut through the noise — assessing digital readiness, building practical AI adoption roadmaps, and ensuring cybersecurity and infrastructure decisions support long-term resilience.
Canada's digital infrastructure gap is not just a policy problem - it is a business risk and a governance failure. Organizations that depend on fragmented, vulnerable infrastructure are exposed. Businesses and communities left behind by uneven digitalization cannot participate in the digital economy.
Move Add Change was founded on the conviction that closing the digital divide is both a national imperative and a commercial opportunity. The advisory work we do - helping companies govern better, adopt technology thoughtfully, and build for resilience - is part of a larger effort to ensure that our digital future is secure, inclusive, and sovereign.
