Inhaltsangabe

A practical leadership framework for the era beyond VUCA, built to help organizations build resilience when systems are brittle, anxiety is constant, and complexity defies explanation.

The BANI framework, developed by futurist Jamais Cascio and expanded here with leadership expert Bob Johansen and United Way Worldwide CEO Angela F. Williams, gives leaders a shared language for conditions that traditional strategic tools were never designed to handle. Where VUCA described volatility and uncertainty, BANI goes further, naming the deeper texture of today's disruption.

The book moves in two directions, first diagnosing each BANI condition with real-world examples, then offering a counterpart for each one:

  • Brittle systems → build Bendable resilience
  • Anxious environments → lead with Attentive empathy
  • Nonlinear causality → develop Neuroflexible, improvisational thinking
  • Incomprehensible complexity → respond with Interconnected, full-spectrum perspectives

Designed for executives, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, and teams navigating sustained disruption, the book closes with 7 leadership strategies grounded in future scenarios and includes a discussion guide for group use.

If your organization is operating in conditions that no longer respond to standard playbooks, this is a structured starting point.
