Humans are hard-wired to fear uncertainty, but we can learn from the ambiguity that is common today. The upside of uncertainty is that it is the gateway to new possibilities, including new tools. The analytical tools we currently use were designed for the physical world, but today we live in a data-driven digital world, especially for those in the service economy.
