Business AgilityJan De Baere & Franky Redant
VUCA, what does it really mean
V = Volatility.
The nature and dynamics of
change, and the nature and
speed of change forces and
change catalysts.
U = Uncertainty
. The lack of
predictability, the prospects for surprise, and the
sense of awareness and
understanding of issues and
events.C = Complexity. The multiplex of
forces, the confounding of
issues, no cause-and-effect chain and confusion
that surround an organization.
A = Ambiguity. The haziness of
reality, the potential for
misreads, and the mixed
meanings of conditions; cause-and-
effect confusion.
