The 2020s will have been a decade of great uncertainty. The covid pandemic, armed conflicts, extreme polarization in politics and so on. Many of these are black swans, i.e. unforeseen crises that force everyone to act.
Others, however, like the climate crisis, have been visible and expected for years. Whatever the situation, we need to know how to behave. The danger of fragility is to suffer the aftershocks and end up battered in the wake of a crisis.
The "antifragile" strategy, as this HEC Paris professor explains it, is to be able to diagnose an organization's weaknesses or vulnerabilities in order to plug certain gaps. Secondly, it requires the ability to plan for unexpected instabilities.
How can we ensure that we don't find ourselves in a crisis management situation? What can we adapt to better respond to the various variables that may arise? As examples of "antifragile" groups, the specialist gives GAFAMs, which bounce back quickly according to current events, and armed forces, which are able to adjust to the realities of a conflict or situation.
