When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
Naming an environment accurately changes what a sensible response looks like. This module revisits VUCA and shows where its language runs out, then introduces Jamais Cascio's BANI framework of brittle, anxious, nonlinear and incomprehensible conditions, the difference between prediction and sense-making problems, and Cascio's Positive BANI counter-postures. Gallup's State of the Global Workplace data grounds the argument in current evidence. This second capstone brings no new theory, but tests established models against three very different organisations: the UK four-day week pilot, US Navy aircraft carrier flight operations and Costco during the 2008 financial crisis. Using demands and resources, the body-first view, Self-Determination Theory, Weick and Sutcliffe's high-reliability principles and Taleb's antifragility, it draws out the shared pattern and the closing argument: resilience is built.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Distinguish VUCA from BANI and identify which BANI letter a current situation most resembles.
- Distinguish a prediction problem from a sense-making problem and judge when more data will genuinely help.
- Apply the matching Positive BANI counter-posture to each letter and check that a chosen response fits the problem you have named.
- Explain how established models account for the results of the UK four-day week pilot, carrier flight deck operations and Costco's response to the 2008 crisis.
- Identify the patterns the three cases share, including redesigning demands, moving control towards the work and gaining from disruption.
