Luca Dellanna

Luca Dellanna

Luca worked on tens of consulting projects, from manufacturing Fortune 500s to fintech startups. He is uniquely positioned at the intersection of management (having managed a large team himself), antifragility (having published several papers and books on adaptive systems), and behavioral change (having presented between others at Nudgestock 2020).

Luca’s courses are hands-on, no bullshit, and long-term-focused. He believes that ideas should be judged not on whether they make sense, but on whether they can be widely implemented with sustainable results and little side-effects.

Luca is read by more than 25k people.

    Pre-course & introductory materials (OPTIONAL)

    Here are some resources that might interest you. Reading / watching them is fully optional – the course itself does not assume you're familiar with them. You might also consider reading Taleb's Antifragile – but again, reading it is fully optional and the course doesn't assume you've read it.

      One-on-ones with Luca

    Module 1: Antifragile Objectives

    Some objectives are easily gamed or lead to unintended consequences. Luca will teach you how to set and adapt the objectives you give to your team (and how you give them) to maximize organic growth while minimizing side effects. RECORDINGS AND MATERIALS WILL BE ADDED HERE AFTER THE LIVE SESSION

    Module 2: Multilevel adaptation

    Change is inevitable. However, you can influence the level at which it occurs. Luca will teach you how to ensure that you, your team, and your organization become an active part of change, and that you do so with as little internal disruption as possible. You will also be able to establish effective feedback channels and to interact with your team to develop their skills, engagement, and proactiveness. RECORDINGS AND MATERIALS WILL BE ADDED HERE AFTER THE LIVE SESSION

    Module 3 – Managing the survival-efficiency tradeoff

    Organizations find themselves with two opposing needs: resilience and efficiency. Part of this tradeoff is inevitable, but part of it can be solved with a win-win on both sides. After this module, you will be able to discriminate and justify which extra resources are cushions that can save the organization during crises and which are plain waste. You will also learn how to prevent the former from degenerating into the latter.

    Module 4 – Feedback channels & Prioritizing

    How to estimate the antifragility of your organization / team / process (and the limit to which it can be known). Luca will show you how auditing is not just for a tool for compliance but also for uncovering opportunities and growing internal capabilities. You will learn best practices and become effective at using them to demonstrate and reinforce your priorities and your organization’s.
