WEATHERVANE PANEL — Pandemic Problems and Breakdowns (Fall'20 Edition)
To keen observers, global sensemakers and guild members,

We're usually optimists by heart, but this month we are diving deep into the challenges, obstacles and problems posed by the pandemic (or now more clearly evidenced by the pandemic).  Next month we'll get more positive, but for now, we'd love your help dissecting the COVID-19 induced breakdowns and lasting effects.

Your input will be instrumental to help in our interim & final reports that constitute our Grey Swan Guild's Wave II productions.
 
Please fill out the form below and let us know if we can share and attribute your responses publicly (or leave them as unattributed) in our final productions.  

Thank you in advance,  Grey Swan Guild /  The Global League of Sensemakers
