What Dr. Doll can say in an interview on
Adapting to the Accelerating Work & Life Pace
:

    • The state of the workplace now is described as VUCA-volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. 
    • We are living in an unstable time of rapid change, uncertainty, confusion, and the reality that much of it we can’t control.
    • This makes it challenging to plan, prepare, or anticipate the consequences of our actions; therefore, it generates fear. Humans do not like feeling as though they have control.

    • We are experiencing information overload, creating static and noise.
    • We have old ways of operating in a new world that is incomplete and insufficient. We are on our heels and we need to upgrade our operating systems.
    • A new acronym has been created (Jamais Cascio) to describe changes brought about by COVID-19: BANI. 

BANI stands for:

    1. B = Brittle  We are susceptible to catastrophe at any time.
    2. A = Anxious  Anxiety is one of the most present symptoms today.
    3. N = Nonlinear  Events seem disconnected and disproportionate, making long-term planning a challenge.
    4. I = Incomprehensible  Unprecedented times that aren’t making sense.
    • The answer: Enhancing our psychological fitness. Focusing on what we CAN control, what is in our sphere of influence, accepting what is, and letting go of resisting what we don’t like.
