The G-2 Institute, a global think tank for the New South, launches Fri., March 31, 2023 at the distinguished Carter Center in downtown Atlanta with an all-day seminar themed “Corporations and Communities: Navigating and Decision-Making in a VUCA World – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous,” according to institute Founder and Managing Partner Tarby Bryant.
Beginning at 8am with registration and a continental breakfast through lunch and concluding at 5pm with a wine and cheese social, “It will be a day filled with provocative and intellectually stimulating senior-level presentations, peer discussion and dialogue groups and executive networking,” Bryant said.
The morning session will feature speaker David Punchard, founder and CEO of Cambiio, a US/UK innovation consulting firm and senior advisor to global corporations and CEOs. Punchard will challenge corporate and civic leaders to look at a complex world through different lenses, hone their intuitive skills and develop the abilities and insights of a chess grand master.
The afternoon speaker will be Rick Smyre, an internationally recognized futurist specializing in the transformation of local communities. Smyre will explore and unpack how trained “master capacity builders” can transform communities and towns into thriving, viable nodes of civilization.
Each speech will be followed by peer-to-peer discussion groups and networking opportunities.
The institute was created and is led by Bryant, an experienced and seasoned CEO and finance executive. Bryant said he has assembled a world-class management team and broad-based advisory board to “ensure the success of G-2 Institute in bringing insightful, forward-thinking subjects and solutions to light through monthly expert and provocative presentations, Socratic thought-leading discussion and creative problem-solving dealing with future trends and threats for CEOs and community thought leaders in the New South,” he said.
