VUCA, Versatile Performance, Training and LearningAbstract
Versatile execution in the workplace refers to adapting to changes in the working environment. It can be understood as adjusting conduct to meet new concerns owing to changing and dubious work circumstances. In situations characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA), versatile execution is significant. This paper investigates how and where versatile execution can be understood, examined and analysed under the imperatives and rules for VUCA conditions.
