- Research funding and science policy. Targeted, concentrated programs versus distributed small grants — the policy bet that certain problems have threshold response curves and require concentrated effort to clear, where distributed funding dissipates. Change management. Concentrating political and attention resources at the inflection point of a transformation — guiding coalitions, short-term wins — rather than spreading effort across all parts of the organization at once. Investing. Concentrated portfolios and optimal bet sizing versus diversification — concentration pays when conviction is high and the payoff distribution is fat-tailed.
This sourceDerives the optimal bet-sizing criterion under which fat-tailed, high-conviction payoffs reward concentration.
