Utley is the best-selling author of “Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric That Matters,” which has earned acclaim for being a foundational guide to innovation.

YSU, through an endowment established by Paul J. and Marguerite K. Thomas, began the annual Thomas Colloquium on Free Enterprise in 1981. Reflecting the Thomases’ involvement in the business community and their interest in the community-at-large, the series fosters ideas that are conducive to the growth of the free enterprise system. It promotes free enterprise as a viable force in the U.S. economy. 

The aims of the colloquium are to provide a series of outstanding lectures or workshops by recognized leaders in business, economics and finance for both the public and the academic community; to provide a library for use by business people, students and citizens of the community; to serve as a clearing house for the exchange of ideas to foster common goals of industry, business and finance in the free enterprise system; and to stimulate the thinking and long-range planning of business, government and individuals on ways to foster the growth of free enterprise.
