Concepts
Antifragile Labs is about growth through engagement with the world.
Â
We never stop inquiring, synthesizing, scenario planning, experimenting, assessing, and validating. We build conceptual frameworks and playbooks. We road-test them quickly, followed by revision and iteration, just as founders engage in rapid prototyping and customer engagement to create, learn, and improve.Â
​
This is the only proven method for solving hard, unstructured, and complex problems. For the world is a challenging, complex environment.
​
As Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the coiner of the term 'antifragile', explained: antifragility is nature's way of creating fitness through adaptation to often-harsh and unpredictable surroundings.
​
We believe in cultivating antifragility in ourselves, building antifragile enterprises, and advancing solutions that engender antifragility in our vulnerable, chaotic world.Â

Antifragile
"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty.
Â
Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile."
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder, 2012. p. 3
Labs
"Laboratory: a place equipped for experimental study in a science or for testing and analysis;
​
broadly: a place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study"
Merriam-Webster,Â
