Beyond Uncertainty

The pandemic year marked the end of an era. The comfort of the known thinking silos is no longer valid everywhere and it cannot be assumed for granted. Uncertainty made itself evident and tangible at many levels, triggering new issues, risks, challenges, and opportunities. Everyone is now ready to accept its presence but what did we learn and how can we move forward now?
