Fit for VUCA

VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity and describes an insecure, complex, and dynamic environment. Traditionally organized and managed companies cannot cope with this complexity. In addition to the existing "operating system" they have to develop a new one. This does not only concern new strategies and structures, however, as the VUCA world interferes much deeper with the personal experiences and lives of people. A new paradigm is required. For the organization, this means: Is there a culture in which the handling of insecurity, complexity, and dynamics is cultivated? Can the organization access the existing, but hidden resources in the system? How much are organization and strategy able to change? Is the management systematic, transformational, and dialogic? In the course, we make it possible to experience VUCA, make the action fields visible, and provide aids which enable companies to change and get fit for the VUCA world. In addition to the management of system suppliers and IT departments, we also invite experts from HR and organization development.
