This week, we have a special guest, Steven J Manning, who is an expert in strategic foresight and scenario planning. He joins our host, Nathaniel C Schooler, to discuss the various acronyms that are used to describe the uncertain and complex future we are facing, such as **VUCA** (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), **BANI** (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and Incomprehensible), **RUPT** (Rapid, Unpredictable, Paradoxical and Tangled) and **TUNA** (Turbulent, Uncertain, Novel and Ambiguous). They explore the origins, meanings and implications of these terms, and how they can help us or hinder us in making sense of the world. They also challenge the idea that these acronyms are just word salads that obscure rather than clarify our understanding of reality. Tune in to this fascinating conversation and learn how to navigate the future with more confidence and clarity.
