It is already clear that progress has been rather mixed. The agenda of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has been cut back to a standard set of statistics, and macroeconomic, sectoral or institutional reforms of a technical nature. Growth has been equated as panacea for all forms of deprivation. However, the MDG agenda failed to bring fundamental transformations in human development and society to make it more inclusive. An objective and impassionate analysis of the past achievement and current trajectories are essential to understand reveal our conceptual, structural and operational deficiencies and the kinds of reorientation needed to ensure that SDGs are much more attainable. Such reorientations would include; prioritizing type of growth, disaggregated regional and local targets rather than global standards, focus on qualitative aspects of human wellbeing over technical 'solutions', and the painstaking work of developing national and sub-national enablement over quick outcome indicators. It further probes into the matter relating to India's recent development experience which shows that achieving the ambitious vision by 2030 will require addressing a wide range of challenges. Agenda of inclusive and holistic growth can accordingly no longer neglect the link between the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development which needs long term integrated policy making. Conceptualizing, planning and implementation beyond 2015 must be made integral, normative part of economic, social and environmental objective of the nation.Keywords

The concept of VUCA was introduced or brought into forefront post 9/11, when the businesses and their respective models were questioned, their existence, their profitability was uncertain. The growth, globally in various industries was facing a slowdown, however when the financial crisis was almost getting over, the ‘new normal’ emerged. VUCA circumstances undermine any efforts to understand the future and to plan for response. There is a change that is witnessed in the global business climate, the companies that have been doing well now thrive in this business environment in developed countries, the volatile situation in the industries continue to pose economic challenges for the businesses and where decision regarding technology and innovation is questioned. An important understanding of operational leadership in the context of VUCA is to identify the issues embedded in it. Unlike the problems that need to be solved, the issues are the unresolved, unexpected, complex - issues and challenges that every leader faces. Size and volume are no longer the keys to business success. Cash flow rather than profit helps an organization to cope with difficult times. Transforming a rapidly changing foreign environment into a onesize- fits-all approach requires a major overhaul of the way we develop, implement and deliver business plans and objectives as evidenced by numerous companies such as Ford Motors, Capital One Bank, Philips NV, Panasonic Corp, South West, The airline, Rio Tinto, Halliburton to name a few. This paper seeks to emphasize how important it is for leaders to enjoy the promotion and use of financial resources, maintain financial viability at all costs, master the art of budgeting, maintain and improve organizational performance.Keywords
