ENTERPRISE TECH TRACK - ANTIFRAGILITY AS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEVER NORMAL

We are living in a world of continuous change with little hope of returning to old study levels. However, some companies are able to become stronger while others are blown to bits and pieces. Many analysts and tech strategists tried to explain it with industry specifics, but a deeper look shows that it comes from how you organize your business and tech teams. In this keynote, I will share why going from resilient to antifragile will open the doors for the next normal. Examples from commerce, logistics, and manufacturing show how antifragility allows you to benefit from external stress and become a stronger player in your industry.
