Some Strategies for Complexity:

Complexity, by definition, cannot be managed.  Complicated can, yes – but not complexity.  The best we can do is acknowledge it, and then try to look at it in smaller chunks, evaluating each one independently, before then putting those chunks back together to form larger entities that must also be evaluated.  This requires people who…

Some Strategies for Uncertainty and Ambiguity:

Where To Start

Our current thoughts on VUCA:

VUCA is all around us, wreaking havoc, and looking to get stronger. So we must remain vigilant and continue to prepare ourselves and our organizations as best we can. The problem is that, for most of us, dealing with something so big, and uncontrollable, and unsettling is draining and difficult. It’s easier to put most of it out of our minds, to just focus on the parts we understand and feel we can impact in some way. The temptation is strong to give in to apathy, or minimize what our role could be, or to let ourselves be caught up in the unimportant weeds. But the choices we make and the actions we take here and now will impact our future, and the future or our organization, for better or worse. There are no easy answers to the conundrum of VUCA, but there are lots of questions and perspectives that provide good places to start. Feel free to look through the resources here and, if you want, reach out to us for more personalized help. It’s our shared future and we’re in this together.
