Countering VUCA:
VUCA Prime
• Vision
•
– An intent create a future
•
– Ability to make sense from
chaos
Understanding
– Ability to stop, look, and
listen
Clarity
•
Agility
– Reward “wirearchy” over
hierarchy
“We are moving from a world of problems, which demand speed, analysis, and
elimination of uncertainty to solve, to a world of dilemmas, which demand
patience, sense-making, and an engagement of uncertainty.”
