In business, performance is key. How you organize can be the key to growth. In the past five years, the business world has seen the birth of a new breed of company—the Exponential Organization—that has revolutionized how a company can accelerate its growth by using technology. An ExO can eliminate the incremental, linear way traditional companies grow, leveraging assets like community, big data, algorithms, and new technology to achieve performance benchmarks ten times better than its peers. Three luminaries of the business world—Salim Ismail, Yuri van Geest, and Mike Malone—have researched this phenomenon and documented ten characteristics of Exponential Organizations. In "Exponential Organizations," they guide the reader through how any company, from a startup to a multinational, can become an ExO, streamline its performance, and grow to the next level.
