In this video, I answer the question, What is Anti-fragile? – and how does the conception anti-fragility apply to Project Management?
The term ‘Anti-fragile’ was coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in his book, 'Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder': https://geni.us/7JvX
It describes things that not only benefit from a chaotic environment, but need one to survive and flourish. Taleb thought the existing words we have in English to describe the opposite of fragility, such as robust and secure, fail to capture the need for chaos.
Taleb’s own definition is this:
‘Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it anti-fragile.
Anti-fragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the anti-fragile gets better.’
