Grey Swan Guild

Hosted by:

The Grey Swan Guild is a global network of 1000+ members from over 55 countries, with a common desire to "make sense of the world's biggest challenges". We came together in response to the first shocks felt during the COVID-19 pandemic, to discuss the impact of the crisis and the road ahead for people, business and society.

Through this process we documented more than 100 candid perspectives from our members across professional domains, geographies and demographics. ​In sharing these perspectives we hope to stimulate wider conversations and move the dial on our ultimate goal: to make sense of the current pandemic, and more importantly, future Grey Swans.
