>VUCA is an acronym based on the leadership theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, to describe or to reflect on the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of general conditions and situations. The U.S. Army War College introduced the concept of VUCA in 1987, to describe a more complex multilateral world perceived as resulting from the end of the Cold War ("VUCA", 2025). There is a “VUCA prime” version which solves each item as follows:
| VUCA | VUCA prime |
| ----------- | ------------- |
| Volatility | Vision |
| Uncertainty | Understanding |
| Complexity | Clarity |
| Ambiguity | Agility |
