Saved by Antifragile

"Antifragile" is a philosophy developed by world-renowned risk analyst and scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb. According to him, antifragile systems not only withstand volatility, randomness, disorder and stressors but improve from them. One example used is the ancient Greek monster Hydra, who after losing a head grew two back. Many think that modern equivalents can be found in Agile, DevOps and Lean Startup approaches. 

In this presentation, we dig into how antifragile models have been deployed in TeliaSonera Finland, one of the biggest companies in our small nation. Everything revolves around "tribes" who progress in their respective fields of interest; some are immersed in legacy environments, waterfalls and something as trivial as communication challenges. While some have gotten the privilege to progress initiatives such as IoT, cloud platforms and healthcare solutions using more contemporary work methods. Wonderful things can be seen everywhere as the tribes weave relationships and ultimately form a cell structure that through networked learning improves from change, chaos and even adversities; this is the antifragile ideal.
