Client: Canadian Bankers Association, Lang and Ackroyd Productions
Product: Planning For Success and The Spirit Lives

Challenge:
In today's fast-paced global economy, entrepreneurs need a clear vision of their mission, goals, and financial requirements. Canadian banks recognize that small businesses are the engine of our economy and, through the Canadian Bankers Association, undertook an initiative to support Canadian youth entrepreneurship.

Solution:
Planning For Success (PFS) is an interactive, multimedia program that teaches the essentials of business to everyone from the student to the seasoned entrepreneur. Through video, audio and other features, the program helps young people explore the skills required to become a successful entrepreneur. Lang & Ackroyd Productions produced the program in cooperation with Total Video Communications, The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education and Wisekidz.

Outcome:
Impressed by both instructional and commercial success of Planning for Success, Aboriginal Business Canada, through Lang & Ackroyd Productions, contracted Wisekidz to dramatically expand the instructional curriculum and content of the original product for a native audience. The result was an interactive, multimedia extravaganza that lets you explore the "Land of Enterprise". The content was later migrated for delivery on the Internet.
