Stonyfield, SNHU set ‘boot camp’

NH Business Review Staff,

A two-day “boot camp” designed for community-minded entrepreneurs put together by Stonyfield Farm and the School of Community Economic Development at Southern New Hampshire University will be held June 9-10 at the university in Manchester.

Called The Stonyfield Farm Entrepreneurship Institute, the program will explore issues involved in operating a socially responsible business through an interactive setting of networking, storytelling and problem-solving.

Featured will be seasoned entrepreneurs — including Gary Hirshberg, president and CEO of Stonyfield Farm — and Michael Swack, dean of the School of CED. Both will “tell tales from the trenches” on the opening night, Thursday, June 9.

Friday, June 10, will feature case studies in finance, marketing and organizational development as well as the exploration by professional respondents of actual case studies submitted ahead of time by participants.

NH’s rankings reflect the good and the bad

There are any number of reports, surveys, and rankings that show how well — or how poorly — New Hampshire is doing on a range of issues. Everything from education funding to safety to having a baby to business opportunities to student loan delinquency — it seems everything can be measured in one form or another, often as a yardstick against other states.

Don’t stop at yellow lights

While major economic indicators are serving as caution tape for many organizations that are hesitant to make investments or take on risk right now, there is a very bright green light out there. There is also a fast-moving vehicle on the road: AI, and the frenetic adoption pace at which people now use it to find essential information. Organizations need to adapt to be seen and referenced by these tools.
