Getting More Done in a VUCA World
Registration
Details
Professor Jain will discuss the implications of Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) environments for leadership, and even if you haven’t heard about the VUCA concept, chances are you’re having to manage it. The change in our environment is unprecedented – in its speed, scope, and systemic nature; be it in politics, business, technology, or society, and leaders increasingly report being unable to make sense of such disruptive changes. In this masterclass, Professor Kriti Jain will reflect on the recent developments in this VUCA world, using the science of the human mind and behavior, and her own research and expertise in this area, and she will discuss ways through which we can successfully lead ourselves and others in these challenging times.
