The Yale SOM Alumni Colorado Chapter and the Colorado Yale Association Host Barry Nalebuff – February 11, 2005

On February 11, 2005, ten Yale SOM alumni and over fifty other Yale alumni gathered at Denver’s University Club to hear a lecture by Yale SOM Professor Barry Nalebuff. The evening included a visit from Pat St. Germain, Yale SOM’s new Alumni Director, who is traveling to many Yale SOM alumni chapters throughout the U.S. to provide support and ideas. During his lecture, Barry shared key points from his new book, Why Not? How to Use Everyday Ingenuity to Solve Problems. He described different techniques for creative problem solving in everyday life and in the business world. Barry also talked about his company, Honest Tea, and how it has succeeded by filling a unique niche in the beverage industry. The reception and lecture were followed by dinner, which provided Yale SOM alumni a chance to talk further with Pat and Barry. Special thanks to Julie Richman, SOM ’86, for putting together this excellent event.
