It’s become a trendy managerial acronym: VUCA, short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, and a catchall for “Hey, it’s crazy out there!” (HBR). It’s also misleading: VUCA conflates four distinct types of challenges that demand four distinct types of responses. That makes it difficult to know how to approach a challenging situation and easy to use VUCA as a crutch, a way to throw off the hard work of strategy and planning—after all, you can’t prepare for a VUCA world, right? WRONG! in this session I deep-dive on the characteristics of VUCA to provide you more handles on dealing with them. An introduction to create more awareness. A 1 hour web-event to quickly increase your understanding of VUCA and how this impacts the workplace and team dynamics, including possible coping strategies for leaders.
