Cloud Computing in the world of VUCA !

Cloud computing will provide the comfort and stability in the world of VUCA ( volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity).
Wiki source for VUCA : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility,_uncertainty,_complexity_and_ambiguity
Cloud computing is the right solution to help business in its technology investments and answers its concerns on the following issues confronted in the world of VUCA :


  1. Anticipate the Issues that Shape Conditions
  2. Understand the Consequences of Issues and Actions
  3. Appreciate the Interdependence of Variables
  4. Prepare for Alternative Realities and Challenges
  5. Interpret and Address Relevant Opportunities

Cloud computing also helps the organization to be prepared with technology enabled tools in the VUCA world : 

  1. Knowledge Management on Sense-Making 
  2. Planning and Readiness Considerations 
  3. Process Management and Resource Systems 
  4. Functional Responsiveness and Impact Models 
  5. Recovery Systems and Forward Practices

Cloud Computing will be the antidote for business to operate in a VUCA world, a world where leaders may lose in the mystical business climate and where money is scarce and risk aversion is the norm.


Business who adopt cloud computing as the engine for technology and business process empowerment will drive through the VUCA business era successfully, those who stick to brick and mortar technology will be vanquished. 

Are you ready to ride the Cloud to conquer the VUCA syndrome which is affecting the global business climate ?

A lot has been said about what’s happening with the impact of Covid, on the workplace. Many of these are hard to imagine and some will require serious consideration. Nevertheless, my 20 years plus background in IT, Operations and Consulting across BCP, Security, Projects and Leadership makes me believe the following are what we can be looking forward to (at varying levels) over the next couple of years. Please leave a comment and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments too! 1.        Disinfection Chambers -  You would have to walk into the office through disinfection chambers, entry into the chamber would be post facial and iris recognition for 2 factor biometric contactless authentication.  You could then be tested   for Covid by a nurse through the use of a rapid test kit (Emirates Airline has already deployed the same for airline passengers), there would be a ten minute wait time for the results before you are let into t...
