This is our Guild's 3X-annual opportunity to engage our community of deep thinkers, senior practitioners and curious others on their view of business, cultural, economic, marketplace, societal, technology, and workplace sentiment. We call them Weathervanes..
Our Grey Swan Guild's mission is to make better sense of the world.and its biggest challenges, current and future. Our intelliegince efforts are a key plank in this pursuit.

Uncertainty is both the paralyzer and catalyst of our times.. Our Guild thought so much of this disruptive force that our first publication of our Cygnus Publishing venture "Uncertainty: Making Sense of the World for Better, Bolder Outcomes."

a mix of current and future perspectives
implications and applications for professionals and practitioners
post-pandemic realities and a sped-up, frenzied world
a blend of expert qualitative POVs and quantitive support
