VUCA ....D-Day 2010

Yesterday, I attend The Company D-Day or Deployment Day for year 2010 which had been held at Vistana Hotel, Kuantan. The main objective of this program is for the top management to share and deliver the 2010 vision and the mission to all the employees.


There were such a great, amazing presentations and workshops given by Chairman, General Manager, Plant Manager and respective leaders that inspired me. Here, I just noted one word from the bundle of them.

Plant Manager said :

“Presently, we are living in VUCA environment”

I tried to find the meaning of word Vuca but the result vuca was not found in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. But, one website notes that VUCA is a military term used to describe environments criteria.

Actually, VUCA stand for V- Volatility, U-Uncertainty, C-Complexity, and A-Ambiguity.

That’s mean the industry are challenged with all the VUCA threat. To survive, we have to change and always be positive. Then, we must convert VUCA with new VUCA. It reminds me that the doctor heal the snake bite with the snake serum ..hehe, make sense also!!!

So, new VUCA is V- Vision, U- Understanding, C- Clarity, and A- Agility.

It was half day program and after lunch we have simple game for team building. Then...at the end of the session, every body was given adidas voucher worth RM170 and one mini ball (replica of South Africa Word Cup 2010-worth RM80)....kira okay la.
