LC125: Working (in) the VUCA2 World
LeapCard 125, titled "Working (in) the VUCA² World," addresses the challenges of operating in a world that is characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). The card suggests that to navigate such a world, one should appreciate these qualities and respond accordingly. This can be achieved by:
- Predicting and planning when possible to prepare for foreseeable changes.
- Simplifying processes and information to manage complexity.
- Using one's strengths to adapt and excel in uncertain situations.
- Co-creating with others to find innovative solutions in ambiguous circumstances.
The card also includes a powerful quote emphasizing the importance of planning in uncertain times: "In preparing for battle, plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." This statement, attributed to Dwight D. Eisenhower, highlights that while specific plans may not survive the first contact with reality, planning is essential in understanding the dynamics at play and being ready to adapt when the situation changes.
