Macro View is What I Need
I simply watched the 76th State of the Fleet Industry video and was very impressed how Mike Antich delivered a macro view of the excessive uncertainty and unpredictability we’ll face in 2022. Not solely did Mike contact on COVID and the influence to the automotive trade, he offered us a brand new acronym for our fleet vocabulary—VUCA—which stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity. Mike indicated that every one these components are at play in at the moment’s market, which I completely agree and hope will fade away quickly or someday in 2023. This macro view is what I would like to listen to so I can settle for and pivot my pondering going ahead. Thanks for telling me what I would like to listen to as an alternative of what I wish to hear.
