Brain health and Resilience in a VUCA world

The dynamic nature of our world can be summarized by the acronym #VUCA (Bennett & Lemoine, 2014), first used in 1987, drawing on the leadership theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus and applied by the US Army War College (W. Warner Burke, 1985)

  • #Volatility: The nature, speed, volume, magnitude and dynamics of change,
  • #Uncertainty: the lack of predictability of issues and events
  • #Complexity: the confounding of issues and the chaos that surround any organization
  • #Ambiguity: the haziness of reality and the mixed meaning of conditions.


We live in a VUCA world and our #brain has to be flexible to adapt constantly, we have to be resilient to endure fast and sudden #change and to bounce back quickly into living healthily and without fear. Even when it hits the hardest, #resilience is the best answer to fast and unpredictable changes.
