Business sustainability is very important for the business itself.
Many things in the business are the responsibility of the owner.
However, the VUCA era provided an awareness that many other things
outside were very dynamic and uncertain. Therefore, the following are
business strategies that can be done in dealing with VUCA.
1.
Choosing the Right Manager
To deal with the VUCA
situation, companies need to be wise in choosing their executives or
managers. The appointment of executives or leaders must be done
carefully so that the company's decisions are not wrong. In addition,
the selected manager must be able to solve various problems, from
internal to external. By doing so, it is hoped that the new leaders
will be able to lead the company in a better direction.
2. Understanding the
Ability to Work in a Team
Companies that have been around
for a long time can understand the performance of all their
employees. Understanding team skills allows companies to determine
the appropriate positions and tasks for each employee. In addition,
the company's comprehensive understanding of its employees also
increases work productivity.
3. Digital Transformation
In
the digital age, businesses must continue to adapt. Digital
transformation allows businesses to enter more markets and attract
new consumers. However, if the company cannot keep up with the times,
there will be delays. This also makes it difficult for the company to
grow.
4. Implementation of the Training Course
To
increase productivity and problem solving skills, companies need to
train their employees. If this training is successful, the company
can improve the quality of the company's human resources (HR).
Examples of
Companies That Successfully Faced VUCA
If the company does
not respond immediately, it will inevitably lead to continuous
setbacks and less likely to win over consumers. A simple example of a
company facing VUCA is the television industry. Currently, the number
of viewers is declining in this industry as people are now more
likely to turn to the YouTube platform. However, some companies have
had success with VUCA such as the following:
1.
GOJEK
Gojek is a startup that can handle VUCA. This is
achieved by adapting to the digital media of Ojek public
transportation. Ojeks are known to be able to break through traffic
jams. Through its application, Gojek can easily connect motorcycle
taxi drivers and consumers.
Not only that, Gojek has begun
to expand into various forms of consumer service, including food and
beverage delivery services and cleaning services. As a result, Gojek
received the title of Decacorn, the first national startup founded by
young people in the country.
2. PT KAI (PT
Kereta Api Indonesia)
An example of a State-Owned
Enterprise (BUMN) is PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI). PT KAI can
identify VUCA and read consumer needs. PT KAI began to improve its
services in line with the system transformation. First of all,
passengers have to queue at the ticket counter. However, currently,
you can use the subscription card used at the station entrance. This
of course can reduce the number of columns at the ticket booth.
