Light and fast a blueprint for organisations handout
1 like642 views
This document presents ideas for how organizations can thrive in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments. It discusses how the nature of change is accelerating due to technological innovation, globalization, and shifting social dynamics. Traditional hierarchical structures are ill-suited for VUCA worlds. Instead, the document advocates developing an "explorer's mindset" of openness, curiosity, and adaptability. Organizations should focus on sense-making, decision-making, and critical thinking to navigate uncertainty.
