[V.U.C.A.] -> Foresight -> Insight -> Action
“We help to change”
Information is the navigator, the backbone of the company, and can help to understand and influence the future because predicting it is impossible!
V.U.C.A. in V.U.C.A.
(Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) (Vision, Understanding, Clarity and Agility):
Volatility: The nature and dynamics of change, and the nature and speed of change forces and change catalysts.
Cause fear, risk-aversion and back-to-basics reactions.
Vision: An intent that seeks to create a future. Have a clear intent, a clear direction for your action. Vision seeks to create a future.
Uncertainty: The lack of predictability, the process for surprise, and the sense of awareness and understanding of issue and events.
Causes paralysis through a tendency to invest excessive – and futile – efforts on data analysis.
Understanding: Stop, look and listen. In the face of uncertainty, listening and understanding can help leaders discover new ways of thinking and acting. Listening leads to understanding, which is the basis for trust.
Complexity: The multiplex of forces, the confounding of issues and chaos and confusion that surround an organization.
Cause a desire to look for scapegoats or black and white solutions that are usually erroneous.
Clarity: Make-sense out of the chaos. The VUCA world rewards clarity because people are so confused that they grasp at anything that helps them make sense out of the chaos.
Ambiguity: The haziness of reality, te potential for misreads, and the mixed meanings of conditions; cause-and-effect confusion.
Induces doubt, distrust and hesitancy, and impedes decision-making and change.
Agility: Wirearchy is rewarded over hierarchies. The VUCA world rewards networks because they are agile, while it punishes the rigidity and brittleness of hierarchies.
It’s the ultimate paradox for leaders: you can’t predict the future, but you must make sense of it in order to thrive
