Why Cygnus?

It’s easy to go with the flow, but to make progress against the flow requires something extra. Making real progress when others can’t can create significant competitive advantage. 

The swan is capable of making great progress upstream – displaying a calm unruffled appearance. Beneath the surface it works hard to get where it wants to be. 

Cygnus Business aims to help businesses calmly achieve more against the flow, to gain competitive advantage.
