Mark Reeson

Paper and Presentation: Stepping Safely into the Unknown – Project Management in a VUCA Environment

Abstract: Currently, the biggest item on top of any CEO’s to-do list is creating, shaping and transforming their organization’s culture to be more responsive to change.  CEO’s talk about the values of integrity, trust, empowerment and leader development as essential within the new damaging environment of VUCA Management.  Prof Mark Reeson will guide you through the hazards of working within this ever-changing environment to understand how to prepare, how to manage the impact of the change and how to safely negotiate a passage out again.  He will demonstrate how the project professionals can reinforce these values through personal example and by ensuring they cascade throughout the organization.  By delivering this change through effective leadership this will help to shape and reinforce the future business culture.  In the ever-changing world that we now live and work in, disruption is as great as it has ever been, meaning we are seeing all aspects of VUCA within our own environments.
