Episode 65: How to facilitate for the 'Future of Work' with Pete Holliday
I don’t know if this is happening for you, but what I’m observing from people working in organisations is that time feels like it’s speeding up for them, they’re getting more work too do, they’re more overloaded and it feels like it’s only getting harder for them to keep up, leaving them feeling stressed, burnt out and wondering how things will ever get better.
This is the new nature of work and the VUCA environment, VUCA standing for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. I first learnt about the term VUCA from today’s guest, Pete Holliday, when the company I worked for engaged him to deliver leadership programs a few years ago. I invited Pete on the show because he’s out there, finding some great frameworks and solutions to battle the VUCA environment, using new ways to facilitate and help organisations grow.
Why does it all matter? I love the following words on Pete’s website: He said, ‘I see the same phenomenon everywhere I look. Our most trusted and important institutions – in business, healthcare, government, philanthropy – are struggling. They're confronted with the fact that the scale and bureaucracy that once created growth and stability have now become liabilities in an era of constant change.
Doesn’t that sum it up? Are you noticing the same things, whether you work in an organisation, or as a consultant as part of your facilitation work? Well listen in to hear Pete’s approach to the Future of Work and his facilitation tips as well.
