In today’s disruptive world, businesses confront various external and internal factors that influence their ability to survive and thrive. While resilience offers a defensive approach to confronting emerging crises, antifragility offers an offensive approach to leveraging emerging crises. Nassim Nicholas Taleb best expresses this non-meek attitude of Antifragility. “Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind.” (Nassim Nicholas Taleb) While you can embrace a defensive or offensive attitude that will hinder or enhance your ability to confront or leverage emerging crises, the Antifragility Institute is here to ensure you avoid the former and exploit the latter. *** Who We Are *** We are a group of business & technology professionals with experience in various strategy & execution disciplines --- including risk & uncertainty, agility, resilience, antifragility, complexity, quality, systems (process & structure), governance, compliance, security, crisis, and more --- focused on catalyzing individual, team, and organizational vitality for surviving and thriving into the future. *** What We Do *** Our mission is to: * Establish foundational principles and practices. * Offer practical training and certification. * Cultivate a world-wide, multidisciplinary community of practitioners. * Deliver consulting services.
