Today’s insights are brought to you by my colleague and global futurist, Graeme Codrington.
Our team has three fantastic resources for you today.
Read our Team’s Latest White Paper.
Our research team has recently a new white paper on the concept of Antifragility. It’s available now at our Futures Institute library.
In a world that’s as turbulent and disruptive as ours is, resilience is not enough. We can’t just keep picking ourselves up when we get knocked down. Antifragility is about getting stronger under pressure, gaining from disorder and improving during disruption. This is something we can do in our personal lives, and with our teams and organisations.
The white paper explores the essential characteristics that differentiate fragile organisations from antifragile ones, offering practical strategies to cultivate antifragility within your teams and systems.
Episode 5 of The TomorrowToday Podcast is out.
If you prefer to listen rather than read, antifragility was the topic of Episode 5 of The TomorrowToday Podcast that was released last week. You can listen here and please don’t forget to like, subscribe and review us on your preferred podcast platform.
In this episode we discuss how organisations can adapt and embrace principles of antifragility. We explore how to develop antifragile systems and get to the key question, which we pose to all listeners: What do you and your team need to rethink and unlearn about your organisation now?
