Dear VUCA people!!
VUCA ?!! Yes,You are VUCA people.
What is VUCA?
When you are facing multiple problems consequently,you can’t able to recognize the origin of the problem,not able to analyse it,no clue about the consequences & no Predictability.
That change,unclearness & confusion is VUCA!!
Each letter describes a word & each word has its own meaning which is more or less related.
VOLATILITY
UNCERTAINITY
COMPLEXITY
AMBIGUITY
History:
VUCA acronym first used in 1987,drawing on the leadership theories to describe or to reflect the Volatility,Uncertainity,Complexity,Ambiguity of general conditions & situations.
But later 2002 onwards,VUCA has put his start in forming strategies in Leadership in an Organisation.
We are in VUCA world,VUCA organisation,VUCA situations!!
VUCA organisation needs VUCA leaders.

Let me explain!!
VOLATILITY:- Liability to change rapidly & unpredictably especially for the worse.
UNCERTAINTY:- State of being uncertain or Unreliability.
COMPLEXITY:- The state or quality of being complicated or factor involved in complicated situation.
AMBIGUITY:- Inexactness or quality of being open to more than one Interpretation.
Just think about it, all are in one situation.

Each person should possess leadership qualities. A Leader can manage any situation in fruitful manner.
For this VUCA,I have mentioned the same acronym VUCA for handling the situation.

Complexity!!
ACTION:- Agility & approach with Hypothesis!
Action should be fast & sharp.
PDCA cycle!!
Also known as Deming circle,The Shewart cycle or the Control cycle.
It is the four step business method for the control and continuous improvement of the process.
Plan–>Do–> Check–> Act
- Identify your Problems {Plan}
