This interactive* presentation introduces the VUCA framework—now widely used in leadership and organizational development—to help teams understand and respond to the challenges of today's fast-changing environment. Each element of VUCA highlights a specific kind of disruption that impacts decision-making and change efforts. By learning to identify and respond to Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, participants gain tools to stay grounded, think strategically, and lead more effectively through change.

- Define each component of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) in layperson’s terms.
- Recognize real-world examples of VUCA challenges in their work environment.
- Apply the VUCA lens to a current challenge to shift from reactive to proactive thinking.
- Practice using a simple tool or set of guiding questions to move from confusion to clarity in VUCA situations.
