Course overview

Business Growth in VUCA times

After this 2x2 weekend seminar, you'll switch to a dynamic mindset necessary to thrive in volatile times, in uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity 


We'll go beyond traditional tactics - you'll learn from war stories, build confidence and master a tried and tested framework to thrive; even in 2023.

Who is this course for

01

You're a business leader; whether founder, director, senior manager, entrepreneur or lead a non-profit

02

You face ambiguity, economic slowdown, uncertain market conditions, unfamiliar complexity

03

You want to feel confident in your skills and decision-making and want to thrive instead of withdrawing in VUCA times

After this seminar, you'll be able to...

Understand VUCA

You'll learn about how to avoid common pitfalls and what are the common strategies to use when faced with volatility, uncertainty, complexity or ambiguity.

Use a tried and tested framework to convert fears and problems into opportunities

I'll share my tried and tested framework with you so you can use it on your own particular business challenges.

Build confidence in your actions and decisions

I'll show you ways to thrive in VUCA times. Confidence is important.

Not overcomplicate things

Simple is beautiful. You shouldn't trivialise issues, but sometimes our fears and challenges are due to overestimating the difficulties and overcomplicating what is needed from us to handle difficult situations.

I lead businesses - sometimes building from scratch and sometimes managing large companies through turnaround, buy and build, or high growth phases. Few things are more complex and uncertain. Over a 26-year career in business, 15 as senior exec as CEO/founder and global COO of a top 6 audit organisation, I gained significant experience in managing complexity; and developed several practical frameworks to operate in uncertainty.


During this 2x2 hour weekend seminar, I will share my tried and tested framework for growing a business, and as a leader, when faced with Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Uncertainty. You will leave this seminar confident you have to tools to handle uncertainty driven by macro situations or human behaviour. And, it being the weekend, we'll have some fun to.


I often talk about VUCA in my weekly newsletter: https://juditpetho.substack.com.

    Fear and Strength in Decision Making

    Business decisions should be driven by business fundamentals and rationale but they are executed by humans. In fact, executives are always faced with uncertain environments - so how do you make solid decisions when your plan becomes useless overnight, without going into overdrive? What drives your decisions when your plan goes out the window? You'll learn how to build objectivity and flexibility into your plans based on The Fear and Strength Matrix, using the "So What?" Test.
