Fred Krawchuk on Performing in Uncertain and Complex Environments

JP O'Brien sits down with Fred Krawchuck to talk about frameworks on how to approach and perform in complex and uncertain environments.

Fred has run several strategic initiatives groups that successfully tackled wicked problems (such as terrorism, insurgency, international development, and diplomatic initiatives) in the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The experience and insights gained from working on these complex issues are about far more than war, terrorism, and striving for peace. Learning how to unite diverse groups to achieve common goals under the most adverse circumstances and instill in them a shared vision of a better future is key to many complex endeavors, civilian as well as military. Experience has taught Fred how to co-create a collaborative approach to tough issues (such as the Coronavirus) by building consensus between stakeholders from all walks of life, aligning "head, heart, and hands," and implementing pragmatic solutions to complex challenges.
