This is not a new normal

Propelled into Hyper-VUCA

What we are currently experiencing is not a new normal but a state which I would call hyper-VUCA. A much heightened state of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) that is testing our individual, organizational and systemic resilience.

While the VUCA world has been a reality for many of us over the first two decades of this millennium, Covid-19 has now propelled us into a period of hyper-VUCA. Few of us would have been able to even imagine only a couple of months ago what we are today experiencing and we know neither how long it will continue, in how many waves it will come back, or what lasting effects it will have on which parts of our lives. We are right to be alert, concerned, and ready to take bold decisions but we are wrong to panic, expecting the world as we knew it to be gone, forever.
