Today, a new set of challenges have been added to an already demanding mission. Based on work originally done in the US Army War College, Eric uses the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) framework to help leaders better understand and navigate within environments that seem to change significantly on a frequent basis.
Who should attend
Leaders and board members who seek greater understanding of the environment in which we operate today. And those who need tools that are appropriate for this environment.
Leaders of nonprofit organizations face ongoing and challenging circumstances as they seek to meet the needs of their constituencies.
In addition to insights and understanding of the new environment, this program helps leaders develop strategies and courses of action that allow them to thrive, despite the circumstances.
Key takeaways
- Understanding of how each element of VUCA changes and shapes our daily activities
- Practical suggestions of appropriate strategies for addressing VUCA
- Ideas on how to remain agile and productive in a VUCA environment
