Brave New Ways #7 / 20 Questions to Detect Weak Signals
Hear Weak Signals
Weak signals are subtle clues to what might happen next.
Welcome to the first Weak Signals Survey. It is a 7-minute set of questions and images to help you pause, reflect and notice what’s emerging in the world today.
Your responses will also shape upcoming topics of this newsletter.
The Survey window is open until February 28. As a Premium Member, you'll gain access to the full results report in March. You will learn what diverse, thoughtful people from across this global Society are noticing from their perspectives.
We're also planning a real-time conversation for Members, once all the results are in, to dig more deeply into the insights and implications of the Survey together.
Start the Survey now by pausing to reflect and respond on the question below:

Then I realized: the first place I had seen these meta-questions had been in our collective responses to...
Rituals that kill new thinking, and how to subvert them Recently I ran a full-day workshop for two dozen leaders inside a global industrial company, to help them make plans to subvert their own thought-rituals and do more of what we all aim to do here at Neue Geo: "new thinking together." Here’s what we did. What would you do? Working with Fear Their deepest fear is that even though they are a giant corporation with annual revenues north of $20 billion, they might be overtaken – maybe even...
“Perspective is worth 50 points of I.Q.” A friend told me that this week. I don’t know if it’s true, but I like the sentiment! That’s the theme of this note: perspective. The Neue Geo team has been hard at work to bring Members new ways to gain those 50 I.Q. points of fresh perspective. Here are two unique invitations for you to gain uncommon perspective on how the rest of the world thinks. First, do you want to bring Unsettling Questions into a gathering of Chinese, Russian and Pakistani...
