Exclusive programs and preferred pricing for MacKay CEO Forum members
Technology Leadership, Without the Guesswork
As a MacKay member, you’ve built or run something real. The last thing you need is technology that consumes capital, creates risk, and delivers uncertain results. The question isn’t whether technology matters to your business. It does. The question is whether you’re leading it — or being led by it.
MacKay members receive exclusive access to our programs and preferred pricing. Details below.
The 5 Mistakes CEOs Make with Technology
A practical program for CEOs who want to lead technology, not be led by it.
This half-day session cuts through the noise. A clear diagnostic framework drawn from 30 years of operating experience so you can spot the mistakes in your organization and know what to do about them.

- A 4-element model to assess whether your organization can execute on the change
- The right questions to challenge your technology foundation, including AI readiness

Experienced technology leadership when you need it — at 50% off our regular rate for MacKay members.
Sometimes a business needs senior technology leadership for a defined period — during a transition, through an acquisition, or when strategic clarity is missing and the cost of getting it wrong is high.
This is hands-on engagement, not a report. We work directly with your leadership team to assess what’s working, close the gaps, and build the capability to sustain it. Whether the need is interim CIO coverage, M&A technology integration, or ongoing strategic advisory, the work is grounded in real operating experience and focused on outcomes that last beyond the engagement.
MacKay members receive 50% off our standard hourly rate.

Coaching
Personalized development for technology leaders and the executives who work alongside them.

Why Technology Done Well?
Technology Done Well is a Canadian technology consulting and advisory firm founded by David Trent. The firm draws on 30+ years of hands-on technology leadership — not theory, not academic frameworks, not advice from the outside looking in.
David has served as CIO and technology executive at major Canadian enterprises including Canfor, CN Rail, Methanex, Intrawest, and helped organizations across a wide variety of industries. He has led businesses through acquisitions and integrations, growth and transformation, cybersecurity incidents, global platform builds, and large-scale organizational change.
The consistent focus: applying technology to grow profit, reduce risk, and build organizations that can sustain the change. That’s the work. That’s what gets taught.
Technology Done Well is built for Canadian enterprises — CEOs, boards, and leaders who want experienced counsel from someone who has operated at the same level they are accountable to. This isn’t consulting from a textbook. It’s leadership, advisory, and personal development from the trenches.
