"An intentional parallel to VUCA, BANI — Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear,
and Incomprehensible — is a framework to articulate the increasingly
commonplace situations in which simple volatility or complexity are
insufficient lenses through which to understand what’s taking place.
Situations in which conditions aren’t simply unstable, they’re chaotic.
In which outcomes aren’t simply hard to foresee, they’re completely
unpredictable. Or, to use the particular language of these frameworks,
situations where what happens isn’t simply ambiguous, it’s incomprehensible.
BANI is a way to better frame, and respond to, the current state of the
world. Some of the changes we see happening to our politics, our
environment, our society, and our technologies are familiar — stressful
in their own way, perhaps, but of a kind that we’ve seen and dealt with
before. But so many of the upheavals now underway are not familiar,
they’re surprising and completely disorienting. They manifest in ways
that don’t just add to the stress we experience, they multiply that stress."
