Adams Community Bank, Pittsfield Cooperative Bank Announce Merger

ADAMS, PITTSFIELD — Julie Fallon Hughes, CEO of Adams Community Bank, and Michael Daly, CEO of Pittsfield Cooperative Bank, announce that their boards of directors have unanimously approved a strategic merger estimated to be completed late fall 2026. This combination reflects a strategic partnership between two community banks coming together with a shared vision to better serve the Berkshires. The combined institution will operate as a mutual banking organization with approximately $1.5 billion in assets, nearly 200 employees, and 15 full-service branches serving communities throughout the county. The combined institution will be positioned as a centrally located, locally focused community bank dedicated to serving the businesses, individuals, and families of the region. A new name and brand are being developed to honor the values, history, and distinct contributions of both organizations. This merger of equals will bring together two boards of directors, creating a unified governance structure that represents both institutions. The merged bank will retain Adams Community Bank’s mutual holding company, with the current chairmen of each bank’s board of directors — Jeffrey Grandchamp of Adams Community Bank and John Martin of Pittsfield Cooperative Bank — serving as co-chairs. Hughes will remain CEO. Executive leadership of the new institution will include lifetime Berkshire residents Gregg Levante as president and Andre Charbonneau as COO, working in partnership to drive growth and long-term success while aligning talent from both organizations and maintaining strong regional insight. The merged bank will locate its headquarters and a full-service branch at 99 West St. in Pittsfield, a building recently purchased by Pittsfield Cooperative Bank. Upon completion, the combined institution will remain a locally focused community bank with decisions made in the Berkshires. The bank will continue to invest in local businesses and nonprofit organizations to support its customers and communities. All customer deposits will continue to be fully insured through the FDIC and the Depositors Insurance Fund. The merger is subject to customary state, federal, and governance regulatory approvals. Additional details, including timing, branding updates, and executive and senior leadership, will be shared as the process moves forward. Nutter McClellan & Fish LLP served as legal counsel for Adams Community Bank. Luse Gorman, P.C. served as legal counsel to Pittsfield Cooperative Bank. Piper Sandler provided strategic consulting for both institutions.

The facility is powered by Revival Hotels’ proprietary Invisible Hospitality model, enabling seamless direct-to-door check-in. Each guest room is uniquely designed (no two are alike), and comes equipped with a Hideaway-branded Crosley record player, a rainfall showerhead, a white noise machine, and amenities from La Bottega. The hotel also offers access to the HI Innsider Guide, a mobile app that serves as a personal concierge, providing curated recommendations, local insights, and on-property information. The hotel offers a range of shared spaces suitable for guests of all ages. The living room includes a vinyl library, board games, and a fireplace in a relaxed, BYOB-friendly setting.

BFAIR, UCP Boards Discuss Possible Merger

PITTSFIELD, NORTH ADAMS — BFAIR and UCP of Western Massachusetts announced they are exploring the possibility of a future merger. The organizations emphasize that no final decisions have been made and that this process is in an exploratory phase. Discussions formally began in June 2025, with a shared goal of determining whether a combined organization could strengthen services, improve long-term sustainability, and enhance impact across the region. Over the past eight months, board members from both organizations have participated in a structured and collaborative process, supported by an external consultant, to guide planning and evaluation. As part of the process, both organizations conducted a comprehensive due diligence review of operations, governance, compliance, and risk. Financial records and assets were also closely examined to better understand opportunities and challenges. No significant concerns were identified. Following this work, both boards of directors approved and signed a non-binding resolution of intent to merge, reflecting a shared commitment to continue evaluating the opportunity. Further updates will be shared as the exploration continues.

Twenty Years of Celebrating Excellence

By
Opinion

Editorial

An even 800.

That’s how many people are now members of ‘the club.’

That would the 40 Under Forty club, which BusinessWest launched back in the spring of 2007. It is comprised of rising stars in this region, people who are making a difference in their business, nonprofit, school, or seat in government — and also in the community.

This is the 20th class of honorees to be chosen by independent panels of judges. Members of the class of 2026 are officially in the club, but they will get their plaques at the annual gala on June 11 at the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield.

Like the 19 classes that came before, this one is diverse in every respect, but especially with regard to what earned individual honorees a spot among the 40. For some, it’s professional accomplishments. For others, it’s primarily their work within the community. For most, it’s a combination of both, as the stories that begin on page A6 clearly relate.

Here are some snapshots that convey the depth of this class and the many ways its members stand out.

• Inspired by his father, a commercial banker who passed away in 2012 after battling ALS, Paul Accorsi Jr. has followed in his footsteps, not merely as an assistant vice president and business banking lender for PeoplesBank, but as a leader in the community, getting involved with groups and causes ranging from the Springfield Kiwanis Club to the South End Community Center to a wide range of charitable road races.

• Alexandra Balise ultimately decided to join the family business — a growing collection of auto dealerships and related ventures that bears her family’s name — but while she has made her mark there, now as director of Corporate Strategy, she has been a force in the community as well, especially with the early childhood education provider Square One, but also Benjamin Swan School, Link to Libraries, the Zoo in Forest Park, and other instititions and causes.

• Alicia Brown is an English teacher at Springfield’s John J. Duggan Academy who created ‘the Royals,’ an after-school program to empower young women through mentorship, leadership development, and life skills education — “helping them build healthy coping mechanisms to navigate life,” as she put it.

• Shannon O’Connell turned a lifelong heart for animals into a long-running stint as facility manager at the Good Dog Spot in Chicopee — but, more impressively, a role as foster mom to more than 250 animals (and counting) over the years, creating a calm, nurturing environment where they can safely grow, heal, and learn to trust.

• Almost two decades ago, Aimee Salmon launched Positively Africana by Aimee, a thriving retail, online, and fitness enterprise that works directly with women entrepreneurs and artists across Africa, creating economic opportunties for them while bringing authentic African gifts and experiences to Western Mass.

• Brandon Towle is the manager of Rolling Meadows Country Club in Ellington, Conn. And while he excels in that role, he’s an honoree for the manner in which he has gained the confidence and courage to move past a severe stutter and, even more importantly, create Camp Words Unspoken in Pittsfield, where young people are provided with the tools to do the same.

• Yeselie Tulloch, this year’s top scorer among the five independent judges, co-founded the Academic Leadership Assoc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth through school-based mentoring, literacy support, social-emotional development, and self-advocacy programming. “It’s so important to me to work with children and just be that adult that some kids might not have,” she said.

That last quote speaks to another thread that runs throughout this year’s 40 Under Forty class: impact. Real impact that goes well beyond personal success. We’re once again honored to share their stories with you in the 20th edition of BusinessWest’s 40 Under Forty. Here’s to 20 more years, and so many more stories waiting to be told.

A Heartbreaking Reality on Many Levels

By
Opinion

Editorial

 

The news that came out of Hampshire College on April 14 — that the nearly 60-year-old, unconventional liberal arts institution will be closing — was hardly a surprise.

The news came maybe a little sooner than many expected, but the handwriting has been on the wall for some time now. Indeed, this quirky school had fought a brave fight to keep the doors open over the past decade or so, but in the end, it simply could not overcome a powerful mix of forces, everything from a sharp drop in enrollment to an inability to refinance its bond debt to a waning unrestricted endowment.

“Despite this herculean effort, the financial pressures on the college’s operations have become increasingly complex, compounded by shifting external factors,” according to a public letter released by the board and college President Jennifer Chrisler, noting that attempts were made to increase enrollment, refinance existing debt, and realize new revenue via the sale of a portion of land.

“We have long known that addressing these issues is essential to establishing a stable financial foundation, supporting long-term operations, and meeting regulatory requirements,” the letter noted. “We are faced with the clear, heartbreaking reality that progress on each of these three key factors has fallen far short of what we had hoped.”

Another reality is that, while Hampshire’s situation was dire and certainly magnified by the fact that it became increasingly difficult to attract students to a college with a seriously uncertain future, many private colleges are struggling and may soon face hard choices themselves.

Indeed, a new forecast by the Huron Consulting Group projects that nearly one-quarter of the nation’s 1,700 private, nonprofit four-year colleges and universities are at risk of closing or having to merge within the next 10 years.

To survive, these schools must find ways to increase enrollment at a time when the number of high school graduates continues to fall, and convince enough families of the value of a four-year college degree.

If current trends continue, this will become an increasingly tall order, and the higher education landscape in this region and this country could change considerably.

That, too, is a heartbreaking reality.

An Inspiring Story of Business Survival

By
Opinion

Editorial

 

There are many positive aspects to the story (on page 4) about how Rick’s Auto Body will live on after the death of its founder and inspiration, Rick Recor, and remain part of the local landscape.

Indeed, the passing of a company’s founder often means the passing of a company because that founder was the business, and there was not a plan in place for succession. In this case, there was.

And that plan entailed the very best aspect of this story — that Rick’s will not only live on, but it will be local, and it will be independent — still family-owned and operated, to be more specific.

This, at a time when so many businesses, many of them small to mid-sized, are being snatched up by venture capital-backed companies and private equity firms as part of comprehensive roll-up strategies that are changing the face of business communities across the country.

We’ve seen it with a wide range of sectors, from insurance agencies to IT; from legal services to, yes, auto body repair shops. The strategy is simple: buy up as many of these companies as you can, take full advantage of the economies of scale, make a lot of money, and then, when the time is right, cash out.

These companies are throwing what some would call ‘stupid money’ at small business owners, many of them nearing retirement age, making it very difficult for them to say no.

But they when they say yes — and who can blame them, really — they’re doing more than selling their business to an interested party. They’re changing the dynamic of the local business community by taking more local businesses out of the equation.

And, as we all know, locally owned businesses usually … care more.

They care more about the customer, and they care more about the community than regional and national interests who are out to maximize profits by becoming ever larger.

We’ve seen this across the broad spectrum of business, from funeral home operators to banks (generally, the larger, more national they are, the less they are involved with area causes and nonprofits) to convenience store chains; indeed, the Pride chain was a powerful force in the region when it was locally owned. Now, it’s much less so.

All of this brings us back to Rick’s.

Recor’s widow, Mari Tarpinian, told BusinessWest that, over the years, the company received countless calls from larger entities making super attractive offers to make Rick’s part of their fold.

Had Recor or Tarpinian said yes to any these offers, there’s a good chance the ‘Rick’s’ name would have stayed over the door, but it would not have been the same company. It would have been part of a larger entity that, in all likelihood, would have cared less about local customers and local causes than the company Recor started more than 50 years ago.

Rick’s will remain local because there was a plan in place. And there’s a lesson there. Area businesses, especially smaller entities, need to have similar succession plans in place. Creating such a plan isn’t easy — it involves sometimes difficult discussions and hard decisions — but the lack of a plan often leads to more chaotic endings when founders retire or pass away, and this often leads to more … let’s call it panic selling.

That didn’t happen with Rick’s, and we’re glad it didn’t. This region needs more stories of succession, stories of survival, like this one.

Onboarding Gen Z with Purpose

By Contributor
Opinion

Opinion

By Sam Borsari

HR professionals understand how critical the first 90 days are for a new hire. A thoughtful onboarding experience can make a significant impact on retention and long-term success. This is especially true for Gen Z employees.

To better understand how employers can improve their onboarding approach, I turned to LinkedIn and my own personal network. Going straight to the source, I asked current Gen Z workers to share their onboarding experiences thus far: what worked, what didn’t, and what helped them get up to speed quickly.

Here’s what they think are the key components of a successful onboarding process for Gen Z new hires.

Intentional introductions. Gen Z values having relationships with their teams and colleagues. However, this can be intimidating for someone who is new to the workforce and doesn’t yet understand workplace dynamics, especially when interacting with more senior employees. Having scheduled sit-downs with people across departments (built into the onboarding schedule) can ease that tension, support introductions, and help the new hire feel valued and welcomed right off the bat. It also gives Gen Z employees a clearer understanding of the organizational structure and key players.

Open door policy. For many Gen Z new hires, you may be their first full-time employer out of college. They are going to have questions, especially if they care about doing the job well and growing in their career. Knowing that the company has an open door policy gives them a safe space to learn, make mistakes, bring new ideas to the table, and adjust more quickly. It also helps them feel less isolated if they are struggling because they know they have a support system. Encouraging them to come to you with questions, concerns, or even just to talk things through can make a big difference.

Mentorships and shadowing. Having dedicated one-on-one time with a seasoned employee (particularly someone in their department or role) was also mentioned as a major factor in onboarding success. Starting a new role comes with a lot of information. You are learning the job functions, culture dynamics, daily processes, etc. It can be overwhelming, especially for someone new to the workforce. Having someone to shadow during the first few weeks helps ease that transition and gets them up to speed faster. Shadowing allows the new hire to see the role in action. They can observe how situations are handled, ask questions in real time, and better understand decision making.

Constant feedback and check-ins. This goes without saying, but Gen Z strongly values frequent feedback. Regular check-ins help them understand where they are doing well and where they can improve. This is especially important early on, when they are still in the learning process. Ongoing feedback provides direction, builds confidence, and reinforces that they are on the right track. It also shows that there is support behind them as they learn the role.

No assumptions. Gen Z, like any emerging generation, faces numerous stereotypes and assumptions on things like presumed work habits. It’s important not to lean into those. Instead, ask your new hires how they learn best. If you want them to adapt quickly, think about how you can provide the right tools and support during their onboarding process. Do they learn best hands-on, through shadowing, or through more structured training?

While you don’t need to completely change your onboarding process for your Gen Z hires, it’s important to recognize that even small adjustments can make a meaningful difference in how quickly they adapt, build confidence, and adjust to your organization.

Landmark Medical Mission

Baystate Health announced that gastroenterologist Dr. Kais Zakharia recently completed a medical mission to Ghana, where he delivered the first-ever training in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ever offered in the country. ERCP is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat complex biliary diseases. Prior to this training, patients in Ghana with these conditions faced no alternative but invasive surgery, which is a far riskier path. By equipping local gastroenterologists with this advanced technique, Zakharia’s mission created an immediate and lasting impact on patient care across the region. In 2024, he traveled to Ghana to train local physicians in general gastrointestinal procedures, laying the groundwork for this more advanced, focused mission.

Medical Student Advocacy

Thirteen medical students from the Population-based Urban & Rural Health (PURCH) program at UMass Chan Medical School – Baystate gathered at the Massachusetts State House on March 26 for PURCH on the Hill 2026, an initiative that equips future healthcare professionals with the skills and confidence to advocate for policies that address non-medical factors that greatly impact health. During their visit, students met with legislators and aides to champion two public health measures: Clean Slate legislation and increased funding for the Healthy Incentive Program (HIP). They urged lawmakers to help advance the Clean Slate bills sponsored by state Sens. Cindy Friedman and Adam Gomez that are currently in the Senate Ways & Means Committee, and to increase HIP funding for FY 2027.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield-based architectural millwork company TrimBoard was recently featured on the PBS home renovation series This Old House as part of the renovation of a historic Victorian home in Needham. In Season 47, Episode 16, “Suburban Victorian: Trim and Proper,” master carpenter Charlie Silva tours TrimBoard’s Springfield facility to see how custom exterior window surrounds are fabricated before installation at the project site. During the segment, Doug Bell, architectural millwork expert at TrimBoard, demonstrates how the team manufactures custom trim using a rice hull composite material and precision, computer-controlled routing technology. The window surrounds are fabricated, assembled, sealed, and paint-matched at the company’s shop before being delivered ready for installation. The Needham project highlights how prefabricated millwork can help builders maintain historic architectural detail while improving efficiency and durability during renovations.

 

Bulkley Richardson Supports Baystate Children’s Hospital

SPRINGFIELD — From her tail wags to the instant smiles she inspires, Isabela, Baystate Children’s Hospital’s first-ever facility dog, earns her unofficial title of chief comfort officer every day. To help secure her future, Bulkley Richardson made a $10,000 donation to help sustain the Facility Dog Program, which provides goal-oriented, animal-assisted therapy to pediatric patients, families, and hospital staff. Unlike volunteer therapy dogs, facility dogs like Isa work full-time alongside specially trained clinicians to help children meet specific medical and emotional goals. Isa supports patients by providing comfort during stressful or painful procedures, assisting with physical and occupational therapy goals, offering emotional and bereavement support, and helping normalize the hospital environment for children and families. Isa also plays a meaningful role in supporting hospital staff, offering comfort during difficult moments and helping improve morale.

TRE Olive Earns Two Medals at World Olive Oil Competition

EAST LONGMEADOW — TRE Olive, a producer of premium extra-virgin olive oils, announced it has been awarded two silver medals at the 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for its TRE Olive AO Extra Virgin Olive Oil and its TRE Olive Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The honor places TRE Olive among a select group of producers recognized by the world’s largest and most influential olive oil quality competition. The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, held annually in New York, is widely regarded as the definitive standard for olive oil excellence. Each year, an international panel of expert judges evaluates thousands of oils from dozens of countries, awarding medals only to those that demonstrate exceptional flavor, aroma, and quality. A silver medal is among the most coveted recognitions in the global olive oil industry. The award-winning TRE Olive AO Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced using organic farming practices, without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The AO label reflects the olive oil’s organic certification in the European Union; the U.S. distribution warehouse was not inspected in time for USDA certification. TRE Olive Select Olive Oil is a well-balanced extra virgin olive oil that is slightly sharp and has a peppery finish. It’s made with 100% Carolea olives that are selected when the olives are perfect for making olive oil.

 

HCC Receives $245,000 Grant for Itsy Bitsy Child Watch

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Community College (HCC) has been awarded a $245,000 grant from the Irene E. and George A. Davis Foundation to add additional staff and evening hours to its Itsy Bitsy Child Watch program. The grant will pay for the hiring of two more staff workers (one full-time and one part-time). That will allow the child watch center to increase capacity by operating a second classroom during its busiest daytime hours and also by adding care hours in the evenings, starting this fall, for students who take classes at night. Itsy Bitsy Child Watch is a free center on HCC’s main campus for parents in need of short-term childcare while they attend class, study, or meet with tutors and advisers. It opened as a pilot program in the fall of 2022 and was so successful, it quickly reached capacity in its original location. In September 2025, the child watch center opened in a larger, newly renovated space funded by a previous $600,000 grant from the Davis Foundation. The new Itsy Bitsy Child Watch Center, located on the second floor of the Frost Building, roughly doubled the capacity of children it can serve at any given time, from 10 to 19. It has two full classrooms for different age groups, a dedicated children’s bathroom, an office, an adjoining gross motor skills room, and an expanded kitchenette with a dishwasher and full-size refrigerator.

 

Phoenix Charter Academy, AIC Launch Pathway to College

SPRINGFIELD — Phoenix Charter Academy is expanding higher education access for Springfield students to earn free college credits while still in high school. The free, public school announced an innovative partnership with American International College (AIC). Through the new Pathway to College program, students can now earn fully transferable college credits at no cost, integrated directly into their high school experience. Two Phoenix faculty members, Marie Keith and Diarmaid King, have been formally accredited as AIC adjunct professors, allowing Phoenix to deliver rigorous, college-level coursework on site that meets AIC’s academic standards. Upon completion, students receive official transcripts from AIC, giving them a significant head start on their post-secondary journey and reducing the long-term financial burden of a college degree. The Pathway to College program exposes Phoenix students to college academics in a structured and supportive environment. Students gain familiarity with college expectations, assessment methods, and academic rigor, while continuing to receive guidance and support from their high school community. This approach helps reduce barriers that often discourage students from pursuing higher education by building confidence, academic momentum, and a sense of belonging.

It is a time for families and communities to come together to honor traditions, embrace renewal, and share hopes for prosperity and happiness in the year ahead.

Restaurants Need Our Support

By
Opinion

Editorial

 

The restaurant business has never been an easy one.

In fact, it’s always been among the most challenging sectors within our economy, one of the first to feel the impact when times turn challenging, and among the last to fully recover when things get better, Meanwhile, tastes change, habits change, and downtowns change. And consumers are fickle.

We see some restaurants that are part of the local landscape for decades, but the truth is that many struggle to survive for even a few years.

And these days, the challenges for restaurants are mounting, and the number of vacant storefronts is growing at a similar clip. In this region, and across the state, it seems, restaurant closures are rising as the owners of such establishments grapple with a laundry list of challenges, some age-old, some much more recent.

Indeed, costs are rising for just about everything, and this is a business where it’s difficult to pass along those increases to consumers. Meanwhile, habits are changing again: people are eating earlier, eating out less often, and drinking less when they do go out, adding more challenges to those trying to keep a restaurant’s doors open.

But maybe the biggest challenge to this industry has been the rise of remote work and its impact on what we’ll call central business districts. With fewer people in the office towers in downtown Springfield — and there are far fewer people in those towers — and in the office buildings in Amherst, Northampton, and other communities, the restaurants that rely on those workers for breakfast, lunch, and often after-work gatherings are suffering greatly.

While area elected leaders, especially Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno, have made repeated calls to bring people back to work because of the boost they provide, these calls have mostly fallen on deaf ears. Remote work, or at least the hybrid work schedule, is here to stay, and the impact on the retail sector, and especially restaurants, is tangible.

Area communities understand these challenges, and they have responded in various ways, from programs helping entrepreneurs and property owners work collaboratively to fill vacant storefronts to efforts — such as those in Amherst, Northampton, and elsewhere — to promote those community’s restaurant sectors, to initiatives to bring people downtown for entertainment, retail, and also dining.

And these efforts need to continue because restaurants do a lot more than fill spaces on Main Streets across our region. They add to the vibrancy — and the vibe — of our cities and towns. And they help create memories for families, groups, and individuals gathering for special occasions, from a 50th wedding anniversary to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at the Student Prince in downtown Springfield.

That’s one eatery that has managed to survive the decades, most recently with the help of a group of area business leaders committed to seeing it live on. But many haven’t, and memories are all that’s left.

Local communities need to continue their efforts to encourage and support this vital sector of our economy, and those who call this area home or do business here must understand the challenges they face and do what they can to help keep the doors open and the memories coming.

Reducing Energy Costs Is Crucial

By Contributor
Opinion

Opinion

By Brooke Thomson

 

The 3,400 member businesses — large and small — of Associated Industries of Massachusetts are uniquely aware that we need more energy to moderate energy prices and keep our companies and our economy competitive.

For businesses, energy costs are part of everyday economic reality. That’s why AIM supports initiatives to develop new energy resources, improve interconnections, and reduce the cost of energy for customers.

Massachusetts employers pay some of the highest commercial and industrial rates in the country. These high energy costs act as a hidden tax on economic growth and prosperity.

Employers pay that tax every time they run a centrifuge in a research lab in Cambridge, turn on a computer-controlled manufacturing cell in Worcester, admit a patient for surgery in Springfield, drive a truck down the Turnpike, or welcome guests into a hotel or restaurant on Cape Cod.

It’s no secret that, when other states attempt to recruit Massachusetts companies, the cost and reliability of energy is at the top of their reasons for leaving. And at a time when competition is at an all-time high, Massachusetts literally cannot afford to have high energy costs, making our key industries less competitive.

At AIM, we understand that our geography in New England creates embedded obstacles to energy competitiveness. But that is why we know that one energy solution or source alone is not going to solve these reliability or cost problems.

To stay competitive, keep the lights on, and keep costs moderated, Massachusetts needs, as the governor stated, an “all-of-the-above” approach that enlists a range of energy generation assets, including natural gas, infrastructure and storage options, and technologies that make more efficient use of the system we have.

The development of these energy assets is particularly pressing at a moment when the industries of tomorrow — AI, quantum, electrified transportation systems, and innovative power storage solutions — are placing unprecedented demands on our electric grids.

AIM has long supported the development of new, clean sources of energy alongside the existing power generation facilities. Both are essential to keeping the lights on in our homes and to keeping our businesses humming.

The governor is right to address the full portfolio of generation options — solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal — as well as demand-side management to generate savings of $10 billion.

That $10 billion represents a significant potential benefit for companies struggling to manage surging bills for electricity and natural gas. It also represents real benefit for the people working for our companies, skilled employees who wonder whether they can afford to continue to live, work, and raise a family in Massachusetts.

The business community remains committed to working with Gov. Healey and other elected officials to find solutions to cost issues like energy and housing. We appreciate the Healey-Driscoll administration’s willingness to include the business community in the joint effort to make Massachusetts more affordable and competitive.

 

Brooke Thomson is president and CEO of Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM). This is a speech she delivered at a March 16 press conference with Gov. Maura Healey, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, and other officials announcing an initiative to bring new sources of energy to Massachusetts.

Boosting Nurse Education

Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors, Mercy Medical Center has received gifts totaling $1 million for the Sister Caritas Endowed Nurses Education (SCENE) Fund, securing its permanent endowment.

Introducing the StratAI Series

By
Opinion

Editorial

 

Last week, a new international study, called “Firm Data on AI,” reported that artificial intelligence (AI) adoption is now widespread across the U.S. and other countries with advanced economies — but measurable impact remains limited, or at least elusive.

The study, which surveyed nearly 6,000 CFOs, CEOs, and senior executives across the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Australia found that about 70% of firms are actively using some form of AI; in the U.S., that figure is 78%.

However, more than 80% of the surveyed firms say AI has had no impact on employment or productivity over the past three years.

Something has to give — and it’s probably not going to be the advance of AI, which seems here to stay.

“The total impact of AI … I don’t think anyone knows what it is,” said Scott Longley, a manufacturing expert in residence for FORGE, one of the companies partnering with BusinessWest on a new workshop series centered on putting AI to the most productive uses (see story on page 4).

Our new StratAI Series aims to demystify the potential of AI in several different sectors, starting with manufacturing on Thursday, March 26 at the STCC Technology Park. Future workshops will address the impact of AI in professional services such as law, accounting, and financial services; nonprofits; the service sector; and others.

Considering the statistics above — the idea that almost everyone is using AI, but few companies truly grasp it — this series is especially timely, and we are excited to partner with a number of smart, forward-thinking business leaders to bring it to you.

“Manufacturers, especially Western Mass. manufacturers, have had their hands so full dealing with the regular chaos of the economy that taking time for new technology has never been at the top of the priority stack, and understandably so,” said Paul Silva of Innovate413, one of the partners on StratAI. “It needs to be a conservative industry. You spend a lot of money for capital assets, so you can’t afford to really screw up; they have to be very careful.”

But that’s also true of other sectors, and so are the feelings of general uncertainty around how best to incorporate AI — and why. We are confident, and excited, that this StratAI Series is an important step in the right direction.

Redefining Resilience as a Strategy

By Allison Ebner

Let’s be honest. If you’ve sat through more than one team meeting where someone says “we just need to be more resilient,” you’re not alone in resisting the urge to roll your eyes. Resilience has become the business world’s favorite buzzword: a catch-all response to every challenge, disruption, and crisis that lands on our desks. Yet, despite all the talk, burnout is rising, turnover remains stubbornly high, and leaders everywhere are quietly exhausted. So, if resilience is the answer, why aren’t we feeling it?

The truth is, we’ve been thinking about resilience all wrong.

Today’s business landscape isn’t just hectic; it’s relentless. Employers are navigating workforce shortages, economic uncertainty, rapid technological change, and a compliance environment that seems to grow more complex by the day. Asking your people to simply “be resilient” in the face of all that isn’t leadership — it’s avoidance. And your employees know the difference.

For years, resilience has been framed as a personal trait: something you either have or you don’t. The message, often unspoken but always present, is that, if you’re struggling, you simply need to toughen up, dig deeper, and push through. It’s a narrative that puts the entire burden of survival squarely on the individual, and it’s doing more harm than good. Real, lasting resilience is more like a muscle that you have to keep training for it to keep working.

Here’s the reframe that changes everything: resilience isn’t a personality trait. It’s an organizational design strategy.

The most resilient companies aren’t filled with people who never struggle. They’re built with systems, cultures, and teams that are deliberately designed to bend without breaking. They communicate with transparency when things get hard. They create psychological safety so people can raise concerns before small problems become big ones. They invest in their people not just when times are good, but especially when times are uncertain.

This kind of resilience doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built intentionally, one leadership decision at a time.

So, what does a truly resilient organization look like in practice? It looks like a leadership team that communicates early and often, even when they don’t have all the answers. It looks like managers who are trained to have hard conversations with care and directness rather than avoiding them until it’s too late. It looks like HR professionals who are empowered to shape culture proactively rather than simply respond to crises reactively.

It also looks like scenario planning — not because you can predict the future, but because organizations that have thought through the what-ifs are far better equipped to respond decisively when the unexpected happens. Resilient leaders don’t just absorb disruption; they anticipate it, prepare for it, and build teams that can navigate it together.

And perhaps most importantly, it looks like knowing the difference between when to hold the line and when to pivot. Stubbornness is not resilience. The willingness to adapt — to let go of what’s no longer working and move toward what is — is one of the most underrated leadership skills in today’s environment. This can be very scary stuff! But it’s time to take a few calculated risks.

Here’s a hard truth for the leaders reading this: you cannot be your organization’s sole source of resilience. If you are absorbing every disruption, shielding your team from every difficulty, and carrying the weight of uncertainty alone, you are not building a resilient organization — you are building a dependent one.

Real resilience must be distributed. That means developing your people leaders so they can navigate hard conversations, uncertainty, and change without coming to you for every answer. It means creating a culture where challenges are surfaced early, discussed openly, and solved collaboratively. It means trusting your team enough to let them struggle productively and supporting them through it rather than rescuing them from it.

So, is unshakable resilience real? Yes, but not in the way we’ve been sold. It’s not about being unaffected by the chaos. It’s about building something strong enough that the chaos becomes manageable, maybe even predictable. It’s about leading with transparency, investing in your people, designing systems that support rather than drain, and refusing to mistake busyness for strength.

The antidote to resilience theater isn’t toughness. It’s intentionality. And that’s something every organization — regardless of size, industry, or budget — can build starting today.
