Navigating Future Practice: VUCA

The concept of VUCA describes environments characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This increasingly relevant term was coined by the United States military, and the concept is widely used within business, education and other sectors to promote resilient, adaptable leadership in a changing world. The realities of a VUCA world have many implications for future dietetics practice, and understanding them will prepare registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered (NDTRs) to thrive in practice.
