War, escalating risk, and a time for contingency planning.

Russia’s appalling invasion of Ukraine ,and it’s on-going global consequences are acting as an accelerant to a global systemic crisis that was already in motion. I’m busy working on understanding the implications, and how we can structure contingency planning and preparedness for whatever might be coming our way in the increasingly uncertain and dangerous world ahead of us. A new publication, and some other news will be posted here over the summer, so please do check in.

In the picture above I am with my father, Wojtek, in the city of his birth, Lviv, Ukraine in 2005. He saw the Soviet Union occupy his hometown, then the Nazis. After his father was murdered, for being a professor, he left home at the age of15 to fight. Except for a fleeting visit to see his mother, he could never return, until those days we shared at the time of the picture. I am thankful he never lived to see what Russia is doing to Ukraine and its people, it would have broken his heart, again.
