Listening to a fascinating global discourse hosted by @McKinseyGlobalInstitute regarding micro, small, and medium enterprises (#msme's). McKinsey reported this past May that "MSMEs account for two-thirds of business employment in advanced economies—and almost four-fifths in emerging economies..." AND YET... MSME's "labor productivity, or value added per worker, is half that of their larger peers. Accelerating productivity growth has always been the sure way to deliver long-term prosperity, and MSMEs can—must—play a crucial role." What would help productivity for small business?? - Better/more infrastructure - More time and capital - More/better tools to minimize process complexity - Better/more consistent digitization - Better access to smartphones https://lnkd.in/e-cpqvBQ

Thank you, NYC Department of Small Business Services, for a fantastic #webex on #mwbe certification this morning. Highly recommended webinar for minority- and/or women-owned businesses interested in pursuing contracts with city and government. Once you're a M/WBE, there's a powerful mentor program, and so many other resources, to support you. #nycsbs #pip #PASSPort #SBSConnect #NYCcontracts #SME

Last week I had a fantastic day at the NYC #SmallBusinessExpo at #Pier36! Some key takeaways: 1. Professional Headshots: Grateful for the complimentary headshot service. Excited to receive the new photo in my email soon! 2. Vendor Procurement System: Discovered NYC's PASSPort, an invaluable tool for getting started with city contracts. 3. Checkbook NYC (checkbooknyc.com): This site provides detailed insights into the city's procurement spending, helping vendors align their services with city needs. 4. NGIP Codes: Gained an understanding of NGIP Codes and their significance for vendors. 5. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs): Learned about the crucial role of CDFIs in supporting small businesses. Proud that Multihyphenate is a member of a credit union, which is a type of CDFI! 6. Building Business Credit: Exploring options like taking small loans or crowdfunding on platforms like Kiva.org to build credit. Networking and learning at events like these are essential for staying ahead in the business landscape. Looking forward to applying these insights at Multihyphenate! #NYC #SmallBusinessExpo #Networking #BusinessGrowth

The Whitney's 81st Biennial titled #EvenBetterThantheRealThing runs from April through August 2024.

A much-belated ICFF post ?? Such a great show--left with much inspiration and tons to think about for the coming year. Awesome to catch up with longstanding colleagues and meet some new ones. #icff2024 #internationalcontemporaryfurniturefair #javitscenter
