Dealing with uncertainty
and information variety

About
The VUCA-world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex Ambiguous) is multi-layered and muddled. For organisations this has many effects, positive and negative. While being able to access enormous amounts of information and data, the amount of uncertainty has never been as high as today. Leadership is in need of distinct information literacy and a constant scanning mode to be aware of external developments. But it is also necessary to look at uncertainty and the unknown through different eyes and befriend the state, as it is here to stay.

  • Exploring uncertainty and its meaning for leadership and business
  • Using tools to see and experience interrelations and effects and foster transparency
Methods
  • Art installation and visual illustration
  • Trend research and mapping
  • Exploratory learning methods
  • Interactive, Socratic sessions
Leadership Skillset for Impact
Deal with ambiguous information
There is no one solution to questions, no right or wrong. Valid opinions are all developed based on a variety of information that is consciously selected and interpreted. Dealing with ambiguity is an essential skill for decision making.
Consider the big picture and global view
Everything is connected and build in systems. Every action has effect on other parts and the bigger system. Global connectivity requires an understanding of the bigger picture. It requires to take on a global mindset and to value differences.
See interrelations and effects of action
As everything is connected and embedded in context there are interrelations to consider in leadership. Thinking in networks and seeing the effect on context is essential. It requires the ability to consider consequences on scale.
Redefine uncertainty and the unknown
Uncertainty and the unknown are conditions human beings struggle with. Security and comfort are two things our brain thrives for. It is part of our primal instinct. To work with it constructively and not fear-driven, a redifinition is needed.
