How the Black Swan Workshop Works

A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process

1Introduction

In this step, participants are introduced to the concept of Black Swans, emphasizing how rare, unpredictable events can have significant impacts. The session begins with sharing personal experiences of surprises that dramatically changed work or life, setting the stage for understanding the importance of resilience in the face of uncertainty.

2Understanding Black Swans

This phase explores the difference between stable environments (Mediocristan) and unpredictable ones (Extremistan). Participants brainstorm examples from their work to identify which world they operate in, fostering a discussion about the mindset required for navigating uncertainty effectively.

3Challenging Assumptions

During this step, cognitive biases that hinder anticipation of uncertainty are revealed. Participants reflect on past decisions, identifying biases that influenced their thinking, and categorize their assumptions about the future, which encourages critical evaluation of their decision-making processes.
