This article addresses two vectors of VUCA interwoven in the narratives, a summary of personal theories about VUCA. Such theories are anchored and arise from experiential learning in my practice as HR/L&D and OD consultants over the past four decades. The implication for HR and OD profession is to consider their relevance when organisations navigate VUCA. Next is the culling out of the specific learning about HR and OD interphases that has worked in my experience, supported by examples and metaphors. The premise I put forward as conclusion are: In order to be at the centre stage of partnering with business, HR and OD have to complement and innovate new-age VUCA strategies. VUCA competencies with appropriate metrics are in the formative stage. The competencies are emerging from the real-time stories of consultants, companies and academia (TATA 26/11 and DuPont safety mandate). Only when HR and OD integrate and work together can the future of leadership or start-up entrepreneurs learn from their insights to ‘thrive in VUCA’.

The new millennium has now arrived in style, with appropriate hype and fireworks we are truly in the dawn of a new age. However, if you were working I have been reliably informed that Cuba will be holding the ‘true’ millennium party in twelve months time. At the end of 1999 it was a time for reflection and the year looking forward into the future of 2000. What of anaesthetic and recovery nursing? What does the future hold?

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but will rather cure and prevent disease with nutrition”. Thomas Edison's contemplation may come to fruition if the nutritional revolution continues in its current course. Two realizations have propelled the world into a new age of personalized nutrition: (i) food can provide benefits beyond its intrinsic nutrient content, and (ii) we are not all created equal in our ability to realize to these benefits. Nutrigenomics is concerned with delineating genomic propensities to respond to various nutritional stimuli and the resulting impact on individual health. This review will examine the current technologies utilized by nutrigeneticists, the available literature regarding nutrient-gene interactions, and the translation of this new awareness into public health.

The knowledge economy is the future. Organisations need to harness their knowledge and put it to advantage if they are to survive in the new age. Innovative approaches to the market place through the products and services offered will become critical for survival. While some of the knowledge they need is held within the organisation’s systems, it also resides in employees and customers. Linking that knowledge together will provide an innovative approach to the future. Research was carried out to identify whether organisations recognise, and utilise the knowledge of their customers. It is important to identify whether they analyse the information gathered about their customers, and whether they value their customer relationships. The potential to be innovative is considerably enhanced when the accumulated knowledge of organisations, and their customers is brought together for the purpose of providing satisfaction and success in the future for all those involved. The way of the future is to link knowledge and become innovative.

Organizations try to survive in a hypercompetitive, changing, and unpredictable environment. The form of this survival continuously changes and requires different tools, solutions, dynamics and drivers according to the actual time. Today organizations face with a big paradigm shift, the industrialization of information age. Organizations should find a new form on the basis of the new age requirements. Some authors have suggested some strategic prescriptions harmonized with the actual term such as McKinsey's 7S Model including strategy, structure, systems, skills, staff, style and shared goals. It is considered that there is a gap related to updating and upgrading these formulas by activating some new concepts such as morphing, organizational ambidexterity and so on. In this study, it is aimed to understand the organizations in the future with internal elements and outer changes which would affect them at the edge of the new era by using this model and offer many propositions.
