VUCA: Learning to deal with uncertainty

Lino Tedeschi, President of Grupo TESYA, and Juan Carlos Mora, President of Bancolombia, answer questions from Carlos Lastra-Anadón, Research Director of the Center for the Governance of Change at IE University, on the pandemic situation and the great uncertainty that this crisis entails. Although, as Tedeschi asserts, we were already living in an environment of great uncertainty before the arrival of Covid-19, the pandemic has now made this uncertainty a more generally shared feeling, which has forced us, according to Mora, to look to the short and medium term, and not so much to the more distant future. Both agree on the great importance of data and reliable sources of information at this time, and see the pandemic not only as a major crisis, but also as a source of opportunity.
