Our world
has evolved
into a
“VUCA”
world

8. 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. 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. 10
The business
environment
has grown in
complexity
over the years
as more players
come into the
market

11. 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. 12
As a result,
organizations
need to stay agile.
Leadership plays a
significant role in
lighting the
pathway for the
organization to
follow.
