We are living in a time of rapid and accelerating change, driven by globalization and hyper-connectivity; digitization, innovation and new technology; demographic change and increased individualism; as well as environmental and societal pressures. These dynamics are creating disruption and a context that can be characterized as VUCA – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous – which has implications for leadership and how we organize work and do business. In this podcast, aviation industry veteran and management consultant Eugene Hoeven will interview entrepreneurs and innovators, business leaders and executives, government policy-makers and regulators, and top academics so you can learn what it takes to lead in a VUCA context to not only survive but thrive in the 21st century.

We’ve had some great conversations in the past few months on the Aviation Innovation Podcast, hearing some great insight from leaders and innovators, the movers and shakers in the aviation field.
At the same time, we are living in a time of rapid and accelerating change, driven by globalization, hyper-connectivity, digitization, innovation and new technology, while at the same time we experience political and demographic change as well as environmental and societal pressures. These dynamics are creating disruption and a business context that can be characterized as VUCA – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous – which has implications for leadership and how we organize work and do business. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly has borne that out.
In this introductory episode, Eugene Hoeven walks us through the concept of VUCA, setting the scene for conversations on how we can navigate our way through the current crisis and the unprecedented impact it has had on the aviation industry and the business world as a whole.
