VUCAな時代にトランスフォーマティブなコミュニケーションメッチャ大切

なんだろうな、と思って調べると、

“Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity”

という意味なんだね。

Business leaders must understand Vuca and Spofs Old commercial certainties have yielded to ugly acronyms JANUARY 18 2023 

 A dozen or so years ago at a Davos World Economic Forum, I first heard of “Vuca”. The ugly acronym of US military origin stands for “Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity”.

Globalisation is in retreat, too, amid rising protectionism, nationalism and military conflicts such as the Ukraine-Russia war. Members of the Davos elite face a world that seems more uncertain and unstable than seen in their lifetime. Call it, if you like, Vuca squared. 

 How should they respond? One place to start is pondering a second ugly acronym: Spof, or Single Point Of Failure.

電力でも半導体でもなにか一つの供給網に頼ってたらやばい、みたいな意味みたいね。 

両用語とも何年ももたないだろうとは思うけど・・・

   

 しかし、犯罪者もよく笑うのいるけどね。

   

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.” – Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

　これは名言だな。

   

 これも地獄だな。 

 結局、金と愛だな。

   

 小さな親切は大事だな。

やっぱそうなんだ？

 

「私にとって、在日3世であることは『何県出身です』と言うのと同じ意味です」

その程度だろうね。そして、どちらもそれほど意味がない。 

 もっとも、同じ出身やルーツを持つ人について共通ななにかがあると勘違いして、○○出身はクズだへったくれだ、とか言って差別する人達もいる・・・困ったもんだね。

I love electric vehicles – and was an early adopter. But increasingly I feel duped https://t.co/TXsQHXtPYb

When you start to drill into the facts, electric motoring doesn’t seem to be quite the environmental panacea it is claimed to be.

Volvo released figures claiming that greenhouse gas emissions during production of an electric car are 70% higher than when manufacturing a petrol one.

 We should keep developing hydrogen, as well as synthetic fuels to save the scrapping of older cars which still have so much to give, while simultaneously promoting a quite different business model for the car industry, in which we keep our new vehicles for longer, acknowledging their amazing but overlooked longevity.
