Partnership ecosystems are antifragile
The fragile wants tranquility, the antifragile grows from disorder... – N.N. Taleb, from Antifragile
Unlike machines that break down over time, living systems gain from disorder. When you throw yourself into a new workout, your body gets stronger.
Ecosystems are resilient against loss. If healthy and robust, when one part of the system stops producing, another part grows to pick up the slack.
Funnels and flywheels eventually break down. They need grease and constant repair. But a living, breathing ecosystem gains from disorder.
If your product is embedded in a complex ecosystem, and finds its way to customers through myriad partner channels, it too can be resilient against the failure of any one of them.
Even when it feels disorderly or hard to measure or diagram, a chaotic ecosystem is usually a healthy one.
