Weathervanes : Primary & Custom Research and Analysis ... for People Operating Slightly Ahead of Our Time

 

Our marketplaces workplaces, cultures, societies and planet are overheated, complicated, accelerated and out-of-control ... we don't need what's already popular, representative  or expected, we need to know what's hidden, what's beyond superficial and what's next.

Weathervanes (powered by Grey Swan Guild) - Going Deeper on Today’s and Tomorrow’s Most Relevant Subject Matter, Meaning, Probabilities, Possibilities and Wild Cards with our Guild panel of Global Sensemakers. 

Hindsight. Insight. Foresight. Crosssight. Together.
 

HindsightCygnus.png

HINDSIGHT

To understand the present, we need to understand how we arrived at the status quo by looking at  driving factors coming from values, events, world views,  ideologies and shifts in context,  formed in the past affecting our thinking and acting today.

InsightCygnus.png

INSIGHT

To understand the 'now', we need to deeply understand what is happening around and just in front of us by looking at seemingly disparate phenomena as part of a bigger dynamic whole, and understanding the shifts that are taking place as they are happening.

FORESIGHT

To understand the future we need to know what we are capable of imagining within the frames of what we deem as probable, possible and favourable. We need to engage that special group of people that can envision new anomalies, plausibilities and ways of being that aren’t straight-line projections of the past.

CROSSSIGHT

 To understand the full picture, we need to look at all dimensions at play. We need to go beyond the narrow views of singular industries, communities or mindsets and go into interdisciplinary spaces, transformative collisions and bring together a multitude of perspectives.

Unlike many others, Weathervanes  uses hindsight, insight, foresight and crossight together to make sense of Today’s and Tomorrow’s Most Relevant Societal Developments.
