Some pretty hardcore teams have joined the Uncertainty Experts from Netflix to Nike and from the All Blacks to The Atomic Weapons Establishment. The bravest team in the world is totally inspiring and also un-surprising! open.substack.com/pub/samcon…

We've only been advising embracing uncertianty as the best strategy for 3 years. When strategic advisors as sh*t hot as @BCG catch up, it's a good sign. Do any of you know anyone at @BCG? I'd love to invite them to the next #UncertaintyExperts and make allies in uncertainty?
