Robert Johansen reframed VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) into VUCA Prime in 2007, replacing those terms with vision, understanding, clarity, and agility. Instead of just naming chaos, VUCA Prime gives you actual tools to navigate it.

So let's return to this acronym we started with, VUCA, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. It's really important that we reframe the world that we have where we need to look behind the scenes, between the lines, beyond the obvious, and find, intentionally craft something that is different. So an economist, Robert Johansen, back in 2007 took VUCA and reframed it as an acronym that can talk about the vision we have for the future an understanding of the trends and the things that are happening, clarity, not on exactly what is happening, but clarity on the parameters of what we're responding to and clarity on how we need to develop and learn and respond to those challenges and the agility to actually do that. So VUCA becomes VUCA Prime: vision, understanding, clarity, and agile.
