032: Is VUCA still relevant? with Kay Woodburn

VUCA is an acronym first introduced in the early 1990s by the
American Military to describe extreme conditions after the Cold
War. It stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous and
took off in a business context after the 2008 global financial
crisis. We published a blog about it then, and over 15 years on,
it still makes our ‘most read’ list every year. But is VUCA still
relevant today?


 


As the founder of Gritty People, Kay Woodburn works with
executives, athletes and teams from all over the world to make
the changes that will help them navigate their VUCA landscapes.
In this podcast we explore how VUCA provides meaning to what
people are experiencing and how to use the framework in
organisations.


 


“Having the VUCA framework gives an acknowledgement that people
are not alone. Businesses are not alone. That this difficult
landscape we have to navigate exists for all of us.”
