About Wolfgang Hammes
I am working on two key professional activities: First, as the founder and President of the Institute for Future Anticipation and Management (IFFAAM)- an initiative of my consulting company The Vangi Group LLC - I help corporate clients and professional investors to use advanced tools and concepts to anticipate (and prepare for) future risks and opportunities. We have a specialty in future management and inflation management. Our latest research project \"The Ugly World of Tomorrow. and how to profit from it\" is the much awaited sequel to my 2016 book \"The Return of High Inflation,\" which was one the most accurate and detailed prediction of the current inflation challenges. Second, I have started the \"From Average to Great\" Initiative to help people on their journey to achieve greatness. The foundation of the \"From Average to Great\" initiative is based on my research project \"Billionaire Success Decoded,\" in which I compared in a multi-year research project the thinking, decision making, and conduct of average performers with that of self-made billionaires. The \"Billionaire Success Decoded\" research is unique. It is based on real case studies collected through my professional activities over the past thrity years when working with both average performers and billionaires. A free newsletter \"From Average to Great\" is available on LinkedIn. A podcast, YouTube channel and training class that teaches concrete steps to close the gap between average performers and billionaires will follow soon.
