Abstract

This chapter looks at the concept of a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) environment brought on by politics, society, economy and the environment. To counter uncertainty and ambiguity in this environment, internal organizational simplicity is needed to enable an institution to be agile and responsive. It requires a different focus on strategy and leadership development – one which focuses on vision, understanding, clarity, and agility.


Keywords: Adaptive Thinking, Agility, Complex and Ambiguous, Complexity, Uncertain, Volatile.
