What is a Black Swan?
A low probability, high impact event. Haiti Earthquake. Fukushima nuclear disaster. 9/11. Years ago, these events seemed farther apart and further removed from our world. Human-made crises and natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. The lesson? What were once low probability events can now upend our lives without warning. At Empathia, we are ready to respond at a moment’s notice with competence and compassion, because the probability isn’t as low as it once was.
