“Black Swans” are unlikely events with extreme effects. Here,Black Swans as a phenomenon and strategies to cope with this are discussed.
Right now, opinions and analyses diverge about what will happen after COVID and when. In the longer perspective, the corporate world is exposed to an increasing frequency of unexpected and massive revenue shortfalls. Management teams therefore struggle to understand how to cope with this kind of uncertainty.
A number of psychological and structural factors in the organization makes it hard to act proactively, at the same time as Black Swan moments can entirely determine the success of strategies.
In this presentation (which will be held in English), “Black Swans” as a phenomenon is discussed, together with strategies to a survive and create value in a world of “wild” uncertainty.
