EBG | Insight: Tradeshift reflections over anti-fragile supply chains

There are many of us trying to make sense over what happens in a crisis. The actions taken and the impact that has in the long run. Can there ever be anything good coming out of a crisis? Some say there is.

EBG interviewed Mikkel Hippe Brun, Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of Greater China at Tradeshift. The interview focus on the concept of anti-fragile supply chains and why Mikkel think it is a good idea to discuss that concept right now. Antifragile being a term used by Nassim Taleb (Twitter @nntaleb).

Is this pandemic playing out right now a black swan? Hear what Nassim Taleb has to say here. Antifragility is a property of systems that increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. It is a concept developed by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book, Antifragile, and in technical papers.
