• Requires stability in the environment

• Requires certainty in its processes

• Demands conformance or compliance

• Not tolerant of failure

Our world

has evolved

into a

“VUCA”

world

8

The economy

today is very

volatile. Just

like the graph of

oil price to left,

the business

environment

can go up and

down rapidly

like a yoyo

9

There is much uncertainty in

the business world as changes

come rapidly and new

business models compel

organizations to form and re-

form new alliances and

partnerships in order to

compete more effectively

10

The business

environment

has grown in

complexity

over the years

as more players

come into the

market

11

There is more

ambiguity in the

business environment

today than ever

before, for example

what may appear to

be a loss may actually

turn out to be a gain

after all

12

As a result,

organizations

need to stay agile.

Leadership plays a

significant role in

lighting the

pathway for the

organization to

follow.
