Pandemics, more wars than ever before, heat waves, melting glaciers and political upheaval: we are living in an era of increasing complexity, chaos and uncertainty: From VUCA to BANI, the ‘unpredictability of the world’ is greater today than ever before. Many people find it difficult to get used to the fact that ‘the old rules of “it won’t happen” and “basically everything will stay the same” are increasingly no longer valid,’ as psychologists Eva Lermer and Matthias Hudecek write in their book ‘Uncertainty’ [1].

The goal was never to replace the human element that makes our programme special, but to find a way to scale its benefits and make it accessible to a wider audience across the WWF Network without increasing the workload. At the same time, we wanted to stay aligned with rapid technological developments in the digital age. Continue reading

I am always delighted when individuals who receive praise also acknowledge the wider team that contributed to their success. Even more so when they can clearly articulate how and in what ways their colleagues supported them. “It’s a team effort.”, “I’d like to thank my team…”.
