ANTI FRAGILE BUSINESS WHAT MAKES IT STRONGER UNDER PRESSURE?

Everything in this world is fragile. Uncertainty, volatility, and risk are constant companions.

While some companies might crumble under pressure, as seen during the pandemic, others thrive, becoming stronger with each challenge. This remarkable ability to hold on against external pressure and continue growing and improving is 'Antifragility'.

In simple terms, "anti-fragile" means becoming stronger when exposed to stressors, uncertainty, or risk. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a professor, former trader, and hedge-fund manager, came up with the concept and coined the term. Unlike traditional resilience, which focuses on surviving shocks, antifragility embraces uncertainty, leveraging to innovate and advance.

Let's delve deeper into the concept of anti-fragility, explore real-world examples of anti-fragile and reveal actionable strategies that can help you transform your organisation into an antifragile powerhouse.

It means actively seeking out stressors and challenges to grow stronger and better.
