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

Elastic and Plastic Change To understand why many change initiatives fail, consider what happens when you bend a business card with your fingers. If you bend it slightly, once you release pressure it springs back into its original shape. But if you bend it far enough, once you release pressure it remains bent. The technical terms for these two conditions are elastic and plastic change. Change initiatives fail when they produce elastic change, and succeed when they produce plastic change. To...

Resistance is signal Allow me to use a personal anecdote to introduce a concept that’s highly relevant to business. In 2025, I finally leveled up my gym workouts, from a chore delivering moderate results to an enjoyable activity that delivers excellent results. What changed wasn’t the workout routine, but the stance I took toward resistance. For years, I treated emotional resistance as something to power through. And power through I did: I went to the gym, lifted weights, did “the inputs.”...

Police Shootings and Post-Mortems (read as a blog post) Last week, an officer shot a woman in Minnesota after she tried escaping with her car in a way that put him in danger. Most of the discussion I read on social media was around two topics: whether the car hit the agent or merely scraped him, and whether the agent was correct in reacting by shooting her. Not only do I dislike the framing that there's exactly one side at fault. But my broader opinion is that, unless you're close to the...
