Navigating the Age of Chaos: A Sense-Making Guide to a BANI World That Doesn't Make Sense
About this audiobook
The world we once described as volatile and uncertain has shifted into something far more chaotic: BANI, or brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible. In Navigating the Age of Chaos, Jamais Cascio, the originator of the visionary BANI framework, unpacks the tools and perspectives needed to navigate our increasingly turbulent era.
Joined by coauthors Bob Johansen and Angela F. Williams, Cascio provides real-world examples, practical strategies, and rich insights to help leaders, organizations, and individuals not just survive but thrive in the chaos. This book will help listeners recognize, adapt to, and excel in a world changing with unprecedented speed and intensity.
Breaking down the BANI framework, listeners will discover how to tackle each aspect of a BANI world:
- Brittle—Recognize fragility in systems and strategies to build resilience.
- Anxious—Address widespread anxiety with empathy and attentiveness.
- Nonlinear—Navigate unpredictable scenarios with adaptive, improvisational thinking.
- Incomprehensible—Find clarity in overwhelming complexity through webs of connection.
- Positive BANI—Reframe chaos into actionable opportunities for growth.
