The Antifragile Organizations 2026 Curriculum


I just wanted to share some more information about the 2026 Antifragile Organizations Course curriculum.

I also offer a one-on-one version of the course on your schedule; more info below.

The Curriculum

The desired outcome is for you to learn how to make yourself, your team, and your organization more antifragile: not only more likely to survive problems, but also able to benefit from them. In concrete terms, it means you will change the culture from one where problems are hidden under the rug or patched with fragile quick fixes, to one where problems are proactively surfaced and embraced in ways that create adaptation and growth.

I'll achieve this by covering:

  • Antifragility, in practice: What does it mean for a business to be antifragile? For a team? For a product? For a career? For an individual?
  • More than just optionality and survival: While these two are important for antifragility, they are not the full story. I introduce a focus on antifragility as the ability to proactively surface problems and being able to learn from them before it's too late.
  • The factors that cause antifragility: How to develop them in yourself, your team, and your organization.
  • Metrics for growth: Well-intentioned metrics may produce fragility when they can be "gamed." How to prevent that and how to set metrics that foster antifragility instead.
  • Effective feedback channels: A critical part of antifragility is better feedback loops. How to establish them, and how to ensure they result in action (as opposed to remaining a theoretical exercise)
  • Managing the survival-efficiency trade-off: It is a common belief that there is a necessary trade-off between seeking performance and ensuring survival. Not really; to a large extent, it can be managed as a win-win.
  • Green and red flags: How to spot signs of (anti)fragility before it's too late.
  • Team interactions: How to develop skills, engagement, and proactiveness within your team, and in general, foster habits that ensure that problems make your team stronger.

The Course Structure

Luca runs everything himself:

The Size of the Box Santa Clara’s School of Law steadily raised tuition year after year, from roughly $44,000 in 2015 to $63,280 in 2025. Yet it just announced its 2026–27 tuition: $50,000. Why the sudden drop, and why such a round number? That's because, starting next year, professional school borrowing in the US will be capped at $50,000 per year. Education costs, it turns out, expand to fill the size of the box we assume to be the default. Change the box, and the “necessary” cost instantly...

On surveys According to a recent survey, 12% of Americans aged 18 to 29 say they have operated a nuclear submarine. Of course, this is not possible: only a minuscule fraction of Americans have ever been licensed to operate one. The organization that administered the survey, Pew Research Center, proactively explains that, as in a classic case of Wittgenstein's Ruler, the result should not be read as information about submarine operators but as information about the unreliability of certain...

Beyond Income:Rethinking Redistribution Gradients Recent debates focused on how many dollars should count as the poverty line. Here, I want to ask a more fundamental question: Is income the right yardstick for poverty at all? Low disposable income can mean that someone is genuinely deprived, but it can also mean that someone has deliberately traded away savings or income for other things that matter to them: a nicer place to live, more free time, a less stressful job, better education, richer...
