VUCA is the new reality or say it’s the new normal. What is VUCA then? It’s the US Military term to define the world we are in.
V: Volatility, U: Uncertainty, C: Complexity, A: Ambiguity
I heard this for the first time when I was at Schreiner MediPharm, Germany about a week back during some presentations by Ann Merchant, since that moment, I just loved it and wanted to share with you all.
So I will say Packaging is facing a VUCA environment. If we turn VUCA on its head, then we can say:
V: Vision, U: Understanding, C: Clarity, A: Agility
So to prepare for the new VUCA, we need knowledge. This is also clear from what has been said below:
“Learning gives creativity, Creativity leads to thinking, Thinking provides knowledge, Knowledge makes you great.’ - A P J Abdul Kalam
To create this new VUCA, we had planned Ideas and Opportunities 2013 showcasing 150+ innovations. To make it simpler, useful and much more cost effective. We had taken the following key steps against the industry tradition:
- Direct start with presentations
- Our chief guests are our participants
- Our sponsors are our participants
- No other promotion activity of any company , this is to make sure we achieve new VUCA: V: Vision, U: Understanding, C: Clarity, A: Agility and there is no deterrent
- All innovations with contact details for direct development
- All presentations by the in house Research Team doing live projects worldwide and belong to current generation and looking forward to next generation and not in the past
- We respect your time and so only subject matter to be discussed and no other non related activities, just innovations
- Only external speaker is the subject matter expert and engineer Pradeep Chopra on Social Media so that he can show how social media is helping packaging innovations to grow
