    THE term Vuca (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) was introduced close to 40 years ago to describe the complex macro environment that the world was in then. Today, Vuca is arguably more pronounced than ever. For businesses, uncertainty is perhaps the biggest challenge – one that is most difficult to prepare for or respond to, and yet a burning concern on many shareholder’s minds.

    The upcoming annual general meeting (AGM) season is an opportunity for boards and management to demonstrate that they are not just responding to disruptions but are proactively anticipating changes and acting intentionally to shape the future of their organisations.

    To do so, they need to communicate a compelling narrative on the company’s long-term and strategic plans and inspire confidence among stakeholders.
