Exponential Organizations

EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS: Why New Organizations are Ten Times Better, Faster, Cheaper than Yours (and What to Do About it)

by Salim Ismail (with Mike Malone & Yuri van Geest)

Today, large corporations are being obliterated by a new breed of companies that can grow at an exponential rate with just a fraction of the time and cost. Traditional business models, structures and linear thinking are no longer adequate for the challenges that come with disruptive, massive, changes.

To survive and thrive in times of exponential change, we need to build Exponential Organizations (ExOs). Such organizations deliver impact or outputs that are at least 10x larger than their peers, due to how they leverage accelerating technologies. This book equips business leaders with the knowledge, strategies and tips for successfully building ExOs.

In this summary, you’ll learn:
• The Moore’s Law and Kurzweil’s Law of Accelerating Returns, and why we’re experiencing exponential growth and disruptive changes in every industry and sector;
• The difference between linear thinking vs exponential thinking. Understand the common mistakes and obstacles faced by traditional organizations;
• The 10+1 attributes of Exponential Organizations (ExOs), and how they help ExOs to thrive with 9 dynamics in the ecosystem;
