We have been asked to share practical ideas with students that can assist them to thrive during VUCA times as they have to create livelihoods for themselves as a secure job is no longer a given. We also shared how to benefit from a Wisdom Economy and how to tap into the opportunities that a Platform Economy offers. My part about how we can improve our Vucability in practical ways and what abilities assist us along the way.

Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) Times
Postnormal Era (ref. Stowe Boyd)
=> Organizations are becoming fast-and-loose, reconfiguring around social
networks instead of business processes, becoming more decentralized and as
autonomy increases, more egalitarian.
We will belong to our networks – which are our own – and not to institutions that
require us to subordinate our interests and selves.”
