- VUCA is an acronym coined by the US army and stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. We live in a VUCA world where the accelerating rate of change creates volatility. A VUCA world means we all experience large amounts of uncertainty, due to this volatility and can feel overwhelmed and confused by what is going in terms of politics, the economy and the environment. The overwhelm is increased by the amount of complexity that we face in just making the most basic of decisions; and with this complexity comes the need to deal with ambiguity where any decision is only right depending on your perspective.
