The Principal Uncertainty

George Laufenberg, Ph.D.

Every map has an edge. What happens when you reach yours?

Cultural anthropologist. Consultant. Twenty-five years investigating what happens after certainty.

I work with organizations navigating strategic inflection points — when the plan that got you here stops working and the next one hasn't emerged yet.

I work with individuals standing at the edge of what they thought they knew — accomplished professionals questioning whether the path they followed was ever actually theirs.

And I share what I'm finding — in essays, a podcast, and a book about what happens when people do real work at the edge of what they know.
