The world seems more uncertain than ever before. You are familiar with VUCA, an acronym that stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. VUCA describes environments in which solving problems is challenging because you have to make decisions based on external factors beyond your direct control.

 

Join us in this webinar to learn about a new framework that will help you navigate uncertainty when it gets in the way of making decisions. Shift your idea of uncertainty from a threat to be mitigated, to an opportunity to think more strategically. This shift is key to succeed in the increasingly unpredictable world unfolding in front of us.
