This document provides an overview and summary of key ideas from Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book "Antifragile". Some of the main points discussed include:
- The book introduces the concept of antifragility, which is the opposite of fragility. Systems or things that are antifragile benefit from disorder, stressors, volatility and randomness.
- Examples of antifragile systems given include stress and weightlifting making muscles stronger, exposure to small errors and mistakes enhancing learning and progress.
- The author argues modern society has become too fragile by trying to eliminate all risks, stressors and randomness. This deprives antifragile systems of the factors that allow them to
Root Cause Analysis - Tools, Tips and Tricks to Get to the Bottom of Root CauseCraig Thornton

Of all the organizational capabilities to be developed, problem solving takes the top spot. Yet all too often organizations lack a clear and effective method for solving problems that the entire workforce is proficient in.
These are the slides for the webinar of the same name, available at www.ksmartin.com/webinars
In the webinar--the 4th of 5 webinars based on content from Karen’s latest book, Clarity First--you learn a question-based problem solving method (CLEAR) that helps people at all levels of the organization become stronger problem solvers. You'll also learn the proper way to build these capabilities at all levels of your organization.
If you haven't taken it already, we recommend you take the Clarity First Quiz to see how you and your organization rate (www.clarityfirstquiz.com). You may also be interested in purchasing the book to obtain a deeper understanding that can lead to deeper understanding - www.clarityfirstbook.com.
A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system.
But what does it all mean really and how does it apply to our businesses? What does it take to have a systems thinking or holistic view and approach?
In this presentation, we'll take a look at systems thinking, how we can get into this mindset and how it is used in the real world. With some interactive exercises, historical and present examples we hope this session will leave you with an understanding of systems thinking and its many benefits.

In this presentation you will learn about design tools and techniques to solve wicked problems, using Systems Thinking.
Systems Thinking looks at the whole of a system rather than focusing on its individual parts, to better understand complex phenomena. Systems Thinking contrasts with analytic thinking: you solve problems by going deeper, by looking at the greater whole of a system and the relations between its elements, rather than solving individual problems in a linear way via simple cause and effect explanations.
You can apply Systems Thinking principles in different situations: to understand how large organisations function and design for the enterprise (e.g. when you are trying to revamp a large intranet), but also to solve social problems and issues (e.g. unemployment with disadvantaged youth or mobility in larger cities). So basically whenever there is complexity and conflict (of interest) in your project, Systems Thinking will be helpful.
After an introduction to Systems Thinking and its core concepts, we will first explain and practice a few techniques that you as a designer can apply to better understand complex systems, for example creating a System Map and drawing Connection Circles. In the second part of the workshop, we will introduce techniques that help you shape solutions, for example using Paradoxical Thinking for ideation and writing ‘What-if’ Scenarios.

Cerner Tech Talk version of my Culture and Methods talk. Exploration of key problems with how Spotify currently works to encourage "no problem is a problem" thinking
According to American Philosophical Association critical thinking has been defined as, “The process of purposeful, self-regulatory judgment. The Process gives reasoned consideration to evidence, contexts, conceptualizations, methods and criteria.”

The Ladder of Accountability is a tool for assessing the current state of accountability in your organization. Just as Ladders have rungs, accountability has levels. Individuals who cling to the bottom of the ladder tend to avoid accountability while those who climb the ladder embrace it.
The Rungs are from bottom to Top:
Unaccountable
1. Denial - People here pretend that there is not a problem. It's not that they're unaware of the problem but willfully ignore it.
2. Blaming - People here are aware that the problem exists but deny responsibility and shift blame to others. They often tell stories of how people/situations/etc. take advantage of them.
3. Excuses - The "I Can't Stage". People here avoid responsibility by claiming confusion or incompetence. They tend to avoid tough issues and situations. They often say, "Just tell me what to do!".
4. Wait & Hope - People here know there is a problem that requires action and they choose not to act in the hope that things will magically improve.
Accountable
5. Acknowledge Reality - People Here let go of magical thinking and acknowledge the reality of circumstances or events.
6. Own-It/ Take a Position - People here own the problem and honor their commitments and responsibilities. They no longer make excuses or blame others.
7. Find/Create Solutions - People here own the problem and own the solution. They actively seek to implement solutions, and even if they can't directly do it, they will work to move those who can.
8. Implement Solutions - People here are all "on board". Whether or not they are the sole decision-maker, they assume responsibility for implementing their solutions and are committed to success.

In Lean conversations, we often hear “it’s 10% tools and 90% people,” “we need to change the culture,” and “they just don’t get it.” While each of these statements may be true, they all reflect that something is missing in our problem-solving and transformation attempts—and that missing element is helping people change their behaviors. In reality if we don’t change the way the organization thinks and behaves, on a day-to-day basis, we won’t significantly impact performance levels.
This workshop includes both theory and practical application around the behaviors of excellence: organizational clarity, focus, discipline, and widespread employee engagement. Activities include class discussions and four major activities representing each of the dimensions.
The clarity activity centers on the words we use and how ambiguity and "softened" language hinders performance. The focus activity is a timed simulation that demonstrates how working on fewer projects at a time increases the total number of projects completed in a comparable given time period. Participants learn metrics-based process mapping, a highly disciplined process for standardizing work. In the final activity, participants practice techniques that lead to engagement and disengagement.

Sheltered Students Go to College, Avoid Education
AUG 13, 2015 9:44 AM EDT
By Megan McArdle
If you've reached that crotchety age I'm at, you may be as mystified as I am by the kids these days -- especially by how they're behaving on campus. I get the naive leftist politics and the wildly irresponsible partying; those things have been staples of student life for hundreds of years. I even understand the drive toward hamfisted censorship of views they don't like. After all, I did my coming-of-age at the University of Pennsylvania during the "spring from hell," when copies of the campus newspaper were stolen to protest perceived bias against minorities, and Eden Jacobowitz was famously brought up on racial harassment charges for screaming "shut up, you water buffalo" out the window at a black sorority that was conducting a rather lively promenade down the walk below his dorm window.
What I don't understand is the tenor of the censorship. When I was in college, people who wanted to censor others were forthrightly moralistic, trying to silence "bad" speech. Today's students don't couch their demands in the language of morality, but in the jargon of safety. They don't want you to stop teaching books on difficult themes because those books are wrong, but because they're dangerous, and should not be approached without a trigger warning. They don't want to silence speakers because their ideas are evil, but because they represent a clear and present danger to the university community. If the school goes ahead and has the talk anyway, they build safe spaces so that people can cower from the scary speech together.
Are ideas dangerous? Certainly their effects can be. Ideas like "Asbestos sure makes good insulation" and "Bleed patients to balance the humors" racked up quite a number of fatalities. But of course, the ideas themselves didn't kill anyone; that was left to the people who put them into practice. The new language of campus censorship cuts out the middleman and claims that merely hearing wrong, unpleasant or offensive ideas is so dangerous to the mental health of the listener that people need to be protected from the experience.
During the time when people are supposed to be learning to face an often hard world as adults, and going through the often uncomfortable process of building their intellectual foundations, they are demanding to be sheltered from anything that might challenge their beliefs or recall unpleasant facts to their mind. And increasingly, colleges are accommodating them. Everything at colleges is now supposed to be thoroughly sanitized to the point of inoffensiveness -- not only the coursework, but even the comedians who are invited to entertain the students.
The obvious objection to this is that it is not possible to have a community of ideas in which no one is ever offended or upset. By the time you're done excising the Victorian literature that offends feminists, the biology texts that offend young-earth creationists, and the .

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam

The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

•Establishing roles for decision making under incomplete information
•Shielding individuals and society from Black Swans
•Philosophy, medicine, classical literature, economics
5. The Book
5
•Follow - up to “The Black Swan”
•Book consist of seven essays – opposite of a textbook – contains autobiographical musings mixed with parables and philosophical and scientific investigations
•Multidisciplinary (history, economics, philosophy, sociology, methodology of science, psychology, finance, forecasting, mathematics, linguistics, comparative culture, storytelling, autobiographical)
•Brilliant in intellectual sweep, but opaque in places
•Rich in intellectual gems and quotes
6. The Book…………continued
6
•Rich in newly-developed vocabulary
•Rich in barbed-wire side-slaps, invective, dismissive of business schools, academics, bureaucrats
•Judges people by name with “uncompromising sincerity”
•Degree of self-indulgence/regards himself as a man of great erudition
•Leaves the reader with the uncomfortable feeling that his examples have been selected purposefully to support his thesis.
7. The arguments
7
•Black Swan is an extremely rare event/severe impact/retrospective predictability
•Positive examples: Internet/Google/JK Rawlings/Taleb
•Negative examples: Market crash 1987/Bank failures 2008/pandemics/Demise of the Soviet block/ 9/11
•At epistemological level it illustrates a severe limitation to our learning from observations and experience and hence the fragility of knowledge
•Unpredictable – Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence/Falsification
8. The arguments……..continued
8
•The family of disorder: uncertainty, variability, imperfect knowledge, change, chaos, volatility, entropy, time, the unknown, randomness, turmoil, stressor, error, dispersion of outcomes, unknowledge
•The antifragile thrives when exposed to members of this family of disorder/the fragile is harmed by it/the resilient resists shocks and stays the same
•Aim is to build a guide to non-predictive decision making/measure fragility – then reduce fragility or harness fragility
•Simple test of asymmetry – anything with more upside than downside from random events (shocks) is antifragile
9. The arguments………continued
9
•Depriving antifragile systems from volatility/stress/ randomness will harm them – examples muscle atrophy/top-down policies/neurotically overprotective parents/absence of “skin-in-the game”/ bureaucrats/ bankers/academics or consultants with no real downside/ accountability
•Bottom-up processes thrive under stress and disorder – discovery, innovation, progress depends on antifragile tinkering, aggressive risk bearing rather than formal education
•Mother Nature is antifragile and best manager of Black Swans
10. The arguments………continued
10
•Debunks the illusion that world functions due to programmed design, university research and bureaucratic funding /evidence that this is an illusion/“lecturing birds how to fly”
•Fragilista causes fragility because of mistakenly thinking they understand what is going on / they deprive antifragile systems of errors / mistaking organisms for machines / engaging in policies and actions where benefits are small and visible, side effects potentially severe and invisible/medical overprescribing/interventionist social planners/ soccer mums/financial experts using risks models that destroy banking systems

•Crimes against children – eliminating mood swings
•Learning a new language
•The thirst for chance/adventure – sucking out randomness by touristification of life/opposite of ancestral life
•Antifragility by layers/natural organisms/restaurants
•Parts may be fragile to make organism antifragile/ evolution/tension between nature and individual organisms
15. Benefiting from mild stressors…….cont.
15
•Organisms have one lifespan/next generation learns from errors arising from external randomness/also applies to historical systems e.g. single empire dominance
•Antibiotic resistance
•Learning from others’ mistakes/Titanic/Fukushima Plane crashes/learning through errors may cause reliability in yourself or in others
•Bailouts transfer fragility from the collective to the unfit
•Entrepreneurs are at the source of our antifrigility
16. The denial of Antifragility
16
•Hurting systems by playing conductor

•In praise of procrastination/doctors refraining from operations/preventing massive losses/preventing calamities/heroes not rewarded
•Difference between signal and noise/the neurotic and imperturbable/data frequency and signal to noise
22. Prediction as child modernity
22
•Prediction is impossible and harmful/causes iatrogenics to risk-takers
•Leads to central idea
-Detecting fragility is easier than prediction
-First make things robust to defects and forecasting errors/making lemonade from lemons
-Antifragility is how things move forward under stressors, also time
•Focus on exposure to failure making prediction irrelevant/make world greed proof/disaster- proof/economic crisis proof
23. Prediction as child modernity….cont.
23
•Remember, in Black Swan terrain events are unpredictable and consequential
•What can be predicted/someone who predicts will be fragile to prediction errors, take more risks, perhaps fail

24
•Seneca the Stoic philosopher – advanced a certain indifference to fate
•Mental exercises to write off possessions/ psychological insurance/ planning for shipwreck/resignation letter/mental exercise of worst thing happening

25
•Proposes barbell strategy/extreme risk aversion coupled with extreme risk loving on other side
•Examples: Investing/Cheating with rock star/Writers being civil servants/Staff on plane/personal risks/social policy – protecting the weak, the strong do the job

29. Remaining fragilities – via negativa
29
•Describing God and sculpturing David
•Charlatans will only offer positive advice/ten steps for …/success depends on avoiding the negatives
•Knowledge comes from a subtractive epistemology /one small observation can disprove/millions can hardly confirm/what you know is robust, the opposite is fragile and speculative
•Simple forecasting models better than the complicated/”fast and frugal” heuristics good for decisions/less is more
30. Remaining fragilities… cont.
30
•Extension of Pareto principle/1% modification of systems can lower fragility by 99%/small number of homeless, customers, disgruntled employees, ill, cost overruns account for most problems or largest costs
•More data lead to missing the main point/more than one reason for doing something, don’t do it/French army/long bio
•Antifragility co-exists with passing time

33. Addressing ethics
33
•Skin in the game mitigates fragility
•Hammurabi’s code/Getting on a plane without a pilot/voting for and sending a son to war/talkers have a free option – no opinion without risk
•Privilege used to come with obligations
•Predicting – free option
•Friedman and Stiglitz/Stiglitz syndrome = fragilista + ex-post cherry picking
•Never ask anyone for their opinion, forecast or recommendation – ask after their portfolio/ same with doctors/Tarek’s armies/Lawrence of Arabia vs Meyer Lansky
