Black Swans
Black Swans are unexpected occurrences which exert maximum effects. Many crises or catastrophes during the last years may be characterised as black swans (9/11, financial crisis, Fukushima, etc.). The Innovation Society provides consulting services to proactively manage such risks by organising awareness-raising, prevention, governing and learning events.
