Our topic for today is about VUCA. None, Ma’am.

Do you have any idea about this topic? No, Ma’am.

Have you encountered the word VUCA?

Okay, Let’s find out, what is all about

VUCA. Yes, Ma’am

Are you ready class?

VUCA is an acronym (artificial word),

first used in 1987 and based on the
leadership theories of Warren Bennis
and Burt Nanus.
It stands for Volatility, Uncertainty,
Complexity, and Ambiguity.

The United States Army War College

was one of the first organizations to use
the VUCA acronym, following the 9/11
terrorist attacks in 2001. Military
planners were worried about the
radically different and unfamiliar
international security environment that
had emerged, so they used VUCA to
describe it. VUCA stands for:

VOLATILITY
It refers to the quality of being subject to
frequent, rapid and significant change.
In a volatile market, for example, the
prices of commodities can rise or fall
considerably in a short period of time,
and the direction of a trend may reverse
suddenly. The more volatile the world
is, the more and faster things change.

UNCERTAINTY
It refers to the extent to which we can
confidently predict the future. Part of
uncertainty is perceived and associated
with people’s inability to understand
what is going on. Uncertainty, though, is
also a more objective characteristic of
an environment. Truly uncertain
environments are those that don’t allow
any prediction, also not on a statistical
basis. The more uncertain the world is,
the harder it is to predict.
COMPLEXITY
It refers to the number of factors that we
need to take into account, their variety
and the relationships between them. The
more factors, the greater their variety
and the more they are interconnected,
the more complex an environment is.
Under high complexity, it is impossible
to fully analyze the environment and
come to rational conclusions. The more
complex the world is, the harder it is to
analyze.

AMBIGUITY
It refers to a lack of clarity about how to
interpret something. More generally it
refers to fuzziness and vagueness in
ideas and terminology. The more
ambiguous the world is, the harder it is Yes, Ma’am.
to interpret

Do you understand the meaning of

VUCA?

Let’s proceed to our next topic which is Ma’am, Francis Bacon is a well-known English
all about Francis Bacon and his one of writer.
his essays entitled Of Studies.

Do you know who is Francis Bacon?

Ok, very good!

Francis Bacon, also known as Lord

Verulam, was the first major
English essayist, comments forcefully
in Of Studies on the value of reading,
writing, and learning. He is the father of
Empiricism.

Francis Bacon is considered a

Renaissance man. He worked as a lawyer
and scientist throughout his life (1561-
1626.)

Bacon's most valuable work surrounded

philosophical and Aristotelian concepts
that supported the scientific method.
 Bacon served as an attorney general as
well as lord chancellor of England and
received his education from several
universities including Trinity College
and the University of Cambridge.

Bacon wrote over 50 essays beginning

with "Of" in the title and following the
concept, such as Of Truth, Of Atheism,
Of Discourse and Of Studies.
So now, we will be going to
discussed/read his widely read essay
entitled Of Studies.

'Of Studies' Excerpt by Francis Bacon

"Studies serve for delight, for ornament,
and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in
privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in
discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and
disposition of business. For expert men can
execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by
one; but the general counsels, and the plots and
marshalling of affairs, come best from those that
are learned. To spend too much time in studies is
sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is
affectation; to make judgment wholly by their
rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect
nature, and are perfected by experience: for
natural abilities are like natural plants, that need
pruning, by study; and studies themselves do
give forth directions too much at large, except
they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men
condemn studies, simple men admire them, and
wise men use them; for they teach not their own
use; but that is a wisdom without them, and
above them, won by observation. Read not to
contradict and confute; nor to believe and take
for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to
weigh and consider. 
Some books are to be tasted, others to be
swallowed, and some few to be chewed and
digested; that is, some books are to be read only
in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and
some few to be read wholly, and with diligence
and attention. Some books also may be read by
deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but
that would be only in the less important
arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else
distilled books are like common distilled waters,
flashy things. Reading maketh a full man;
conference a ready man; and writing an exact
man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had
need have a great memory; if he confer little, he
had need have a present wit: and if he read little,
he had need have much cunning, to seem to
know that he doth not. Histories make men wise;
poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural
philosophy deep; moral
grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt
studia in mores [Studies pass into and influence
manners]. Nay, there is no stone or impediment
in the wit but may be wrought out by fit studies;
like as diseases of the body may have
appropriate exercises. 
Bowling is good for the stone and reins;
shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking
for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like.
So, if a man’s wit be wandering, let him study
the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his
wit be called away never so little, he must begin
again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find
differences, let him study the Schoolmen; for
they are cymini sectores [splitters of hairs]. If he
be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up
one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him
study the lawyers’ cases. So, every defect of the
mind may have a special receipt."

In this essay, he explains how and why

study is important in our lives.

Studying is helpful for better

understanding and provides a
knowledge that develops experience, as
well as a character that grows. Reading
provides delight and fun, ornament and
showing off, and the ability for success.
Bacon expanded upon different fields of
study depending on one's goal; for
example, to master clarity with Yes, Ma’am.
language, study poetry.
