This challenging book moves the language of anti-fragility from concept to commercial application; a practical blueprint for surviving the unexpected. It is important reading for all business students and board directors, providing a framework to learn from stress. What does not kill me makes me stronger, Friedrich Nietzsche. Jerry Jarvis, business adviser and former Managing Director of Edexcel and BTEC This book by Tony Bendell, Building Anti-Fragile Organisations, merits your attention for the thoughtful discussion of what you, as a leader and manager, can do to help your organization better thrive and survive in an increasingly complex business environment. The subject is important, so read it at your leisure, ignore it at your peril. David J. Kelly, President, Austrian Foundation for Quality Management Tony Bendall has comprehensively researched and analysed the concept of anti-fragility and its implications for organisations and their people. The result is an engaging and timely tour de force which should be required reading for all business leaders as well as students embarking on a career in the corporate world. Stuart Ansell, BPP Business School, UK So, with the goal of making smarter decisions in mind, the author of this practical study of the concept of anti-fragility, Tony Bendell, proposes a series of principles that acknowledge the non-linear path of events, accepting that volatility and uncertainty are the only certainties. Risk professionals in both the public and private sectors have long been fascinated by the concepts of resilience. Anti-fragility, as unwieldy a term as the very concept it sets out to tackle, has a similar flavour. I expect this book will appeal to a range of business and organisational management professionals, and it references a number of well-established thinkers and programmes within its pages.
