The global markets are witnessing a profound changes and shift in the attitude and aptitude towards the complex, uncertain and changeable market behaviours. Before COVID 19, the world was thought to be strategizing to meet the expectations of the VUCA framework, which defines a world of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. Theories were propounded to explain the post – cold war world evidencing the rapidity in changes, ambiguity in decision making, instability is adapting to systems and technology. However, post COVID 19, global events marked by more impactful influence in escalating the behavioural changes are beyond the definition of VUCA. To include more disruptive events like pandemics, technological & AI interventions, geopolitical instabilities, climatic shifts & crises, etc., a new framework BANI is coined by the American author and futurist Jamais Cascio, an acronym to Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, and Incomprehensible, has emerged to cover-up the new normal world. These paradigms reflect on the psychological, operational, and universal breakdowns which is commonly and now frequently encountered by modern-day organizations and societies. Thus, it becomes imperative that human-kind be prepared for such transformations for a sustainable and resilient work environment and world, at large, which calls for an adaption and change is the teaching-learning process to prepare an informed work-force to meet these expectations. While moving from VUCA to BANI world, education shall play a crucial in updating the young minds to focus on not only preset theories but to evolve as a prepared leader for firm decision-making in a complex, fragile, and non-linear environment.
