VUCA as a practical model: A commentary

 

VUCA discourses often get stuck in describing VUCA phenomena and their effects. The experience of a nonlinear world characterized by unpredictability, uncertainty and unplanability is commonly foregrounded at the expense of contemplating VUCA as an opportunity for systemic change. Too little attention is paid to concrete action strategies that help to move from situational analysis to deep understanding and proactive change planning. In this context, especially in the management of companies but also in political as well as civil society organizations, there is a constant challenge of remaining capable of acting under maximum uncertainty...

The Great Conversation

The Great Conversation

Ron Worman is the Founder and CEO of The Sage Group® and The Great Conversation. Over the last 30 years The Sage Group has been helping companies build and execute a ‘value’ strategy that leverages their internal and external relationships. The premise of a great conversation is that ideas will change the world. Harnessing the ideas and then discussing their practical application can change market ecosystems. Innovations within market ecosystems will change leader’s strategy, planning and execution plans. We have a great conversation around helping leaders “return to curiosity” about themselves, the others around them, and their impact on their companies and the world. We come away with a positive substitution for the VUCA acronym: Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Adaptability. And that is a worthy starting point for leader’s growth, personally, professionally, and within the context of their business. We have been pursuing the guides that can help us be better leaders in this VUCA world, and we found another in Germany: Waltraud Glaeser.

It's VUCA The Film

It's VUCA The Film

IT’S VUCA is a movement from the USA. We live in an age of crushing change and uncertainty that bombards us with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, fear, anxiety – and distrust. There is a name for this: IT’S VUCA. VUCA isn’t just the problem…it’s also the solution. The future is moving faster than we think, and as we learned in 2020, 2021 and 2022, the world is not prepared for it. The goal is to transform the world from negative VUCA to positive VUCA. The film “It’s VUCA” by American director Chris Sean Nolan is a journey to discover the answers to what you are going through – helping you overcome overwhelm and succeed under conditions of VUCA NOW and TOMORROW. Waltraud Glaeser was in conversation with Chris Sean Nolan (Multiple Emmy Award-winning writer-director) and Mike Schindler (Award-winning author, US Navy Veteran, One of the US nation’s foremost experts on veteran issues ) about VUCA.

Switzerland

Empowerment by Agile Teambuilding

An international company based in Switzerland is in the process of optimizing the current leadership style of their teams:
Empowerment through Agility & Self-Organization, because a learning behavior is needed that can deal with high speed of change, high uncertainty and high interdependencies in a complex environment!
VUCA requires a realignment of leadership and communication: the increase in volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity requires the company to align itself differently and to ensure good results with new leadership behavior under changed conditions.

Waltraud Glaeser facilitates this journey towards purpose, alignment and commitment by gaining self-organization, empowerment and role clarity. The managers of various teams have been prepared for this shift in mindset and paradigms digitally, but also in face-to-face workshops.
A facilitated and moderated process was set up together, following the taylorized principles in the idea of Scrum logic to create value (tackle complex adaptive problems, proceed iteratively and collaboratively, learn through experience, act self-organized, challenge each other, reflect on gains and losses, continuously improve).
