DESCRIPTION
Volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) situations represent challenges that emerge almost daily in our lives.
The VUCA concept originated in 1987, based on the theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus. The acronym reflects the constant, dramatically-transforming, and unpredictable world. The term was first used by U.S. Army War College to describe the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous general conditions globally.
This presentation provides a detailed overview of the 4 VUCA threats (elements):
1. Volatility
2. Uncertainty
3. Complexity
4. Ambiguity
VUCA relates to threats that people and enterprises often encounter. These threats need deliberate course of action and proactive management.
The presentation also talks about the approach to managing a VUCA environment utilizing Robert Johansen's Leadership framework called "VUCA Counterweight" or "VUCA PRIME."
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
