Grow from adversity

AQ Assessment Landing – Org, Antifragile Quotient | AQ Assessment

Your collective Antifragile Quotient or “AQ”, now determines the companies that thrive—and those that don’t. You feel it when what worked for years no longer does and you don’t know how to fix it. AQ remedies this by helping companies see and interact through a new lens to rediscover your innate ability to grow stronger from adversity because the waves of change, and the adversity they create, are coming faster and getting bigger.

We need a new paradigm to thrive

Prior to our societal institutions becoming fragile, and before globalization and technology had caused widespread disruption, our innate ability to grow stronger from adversity was largely intact and IQ was the go-to determinant of who would thrive.  

  

With widespread adoption of the computer and internet, there was a leveling effect of raw intelligence relative to emotional intelligence. The ability to work quickly and collaboratively with others in leveraging the power of shared knowledge to obtain greater outcomes became critical such that by the mid-nineties, we realized EQ was often better than IQ at determining who would thrive.  

 

As the decline of our institutions accelerated, technology and globalization marched on.

The iPhone, social media, and apps like Slack, which brought work to our nightstands, accelerated the pace of change. By the mid-teens, words like “grit” and “resilience” were being used to indicate who would thrive. They were also evidence of the fact that we had lost touch with our innate ability to grow stronger from adversity and felt collectively overwhelmed.  

  

While the grit and resilience movements brought hope in our fight to keep up with change, their focus on “bouncing back” didn’t reactive our innate ability to grow stronger from adversity as evidenced by the staggering rise in depression and mental health issues. As new technologies like AI come on the scene, and the pace of change accelerates even faster, our ability to bounce back will diminish further and our mental health crisis is poised to worsen.
