Now that you know you are in the ‘VUCA’ world can technology help in any way?
The VUCA world challenges an organisation by:
- Presenting boundaries for planning and policy management
- Confounding the ability to make decisions in an accurate, relevant and timely manner
- Confusing the recognition of issues that impact, as well as the consequences of such issues and any associated actions, along with their variables
- Clouding the true interpretation of opportunities to grow
As we have already noted, Bill George, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School, puts the argument forward that VUCA demands a new leadership response which he calls VUCA 2.0: Vision, Understanding, Courage and Adaptability.
These are the basic foundations of a Business Agile world.
Equally there is an argument that to achieve this VUCA 2.0, or to Un-VUCA the VUCA world and enjoy the benefits of a world of Vision, Understanding, Courage and Adaptability, we can’t do it all on our own.
Technology is a major advantage in this world to grab that data, identify gaps and variabilities, to connect people all over the world to help make insightful suggestions and ultimately decisions, and bring about the power of the many.
These are also the basic foundations of a Business Agile world.
At which point we arrive back at the start by asking ‘What can my businesses do today to prepare for challenges of tomorrow and the future?’. The answer is ‘plenty’ but primarily ‘Get Business Agile’.
