So what does the acronym #VUCA stand for? V U C A. Volatile. Uncertain. Complex. Ambiguous. Some people think VUCA is only used to describe “dark clouds on the horizon” scenarios, but it is far broader than that. It can be “positive” as well as “negative”.
The meaning of VUCA becomes a lot clearer if you contrast it with its opposites. Volatile versus stable. Uncertain versus predictable and certain. Complex versus simple and linear. Ambiguous versus clear. Some situations in life are on the VUCA side, others are on the non-VUCA side. The tragedy is to mistake one for the other!
