IMPLICATIONS OF EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Orientation towards demonetization
Trust is better than control and better open than closed
Disruption is the new norm
Information speeds everything up
Death to the five-year plan
Better small than big
Watch out for the "expert"
Rent, don't buy
Everything is measurable and nothing is known
Everywhere you look, the new information paradigm is accelerating the metabolism of products
Once you change the substrate from a material and mechanical base to a digital and information one, the fuse is lit leading to an inevitable explosion.
the evolution from analog to digital is occurring in multiple nuclear technologies, the effects of which are multiplied at their intersections
As we add trillions of sensors to each device, process and person, the process accelerates even more to an unimaginable pace (Big Data).
en los próximos ocho años veremos la nueva generación de redes de teléfonos móviles (5G)
"Software is eating the world"
With the Internet, it is possible to promote a product online all over the world for a tiny fraction of what it cost 25 years ago.
It is precisely this advantage that allowed companies such as Craigslist, eBay and Amazon to scale with extraordinary speed to become some of the largest companies in the world.
The virtual advantage of these companies proved devastating to their competitors — particularly the traditional paper classifieds business.
Exponential Organizations, the new technologies that enable information will drive costs to fall, in addition to sales and marketing, in all functions of the company.
Today there is an entire category in the media industry - named for the underlying physical media they have tried to sell - that today is made up of information businesses that have been digitized.
We believe that the television industry will be the next to fall under the beam of information.
disruptive innovation rarely comes from the status quo
Steps that appear consistently around disruptive innovation
We have witnessed this evolution in drones, in DNA sequencing, 3D printing, sensors, robotics, and certainly Bitcoin.
The domain (or technology) gets access to the information.
Costs fall exponentially and access is democratized.
Fans come together to form an open source community.
New combinations of technologies and convergences are introduced.
New products and services appear that are orders of magnitude better and cheaper
The status quo is disrupted (and the field gains access to information)

In each field, a networking community has emerged, an open source, that produces an accelerated stream of innovation exactly in line with the steps outlined above.
The old saying that an expert is "someone who tells you why something can't be done" is more true than ever.
History has shown us that the best inventions or solutions rarely come from the hands of experts; what's more, they almost always come from outsiders.

So if the experts turn out to be 'suspicious', who should we turn to instead?
They call this new breed of data experts 'geeks'
One of the hallmarks of large companies is the presence of corporate strategy departments that formulate and publish five-year plans
The future is changing at such a speed that any future forecast is likely to pose false scenarios, so much so that today's five-year plans are highly likely to offer the wrong advice:
These are multi-year strategies that are supposed to outline a company's long-term vision and goals.
Five-year plans used to be secret internal documents
In fact, rather than offering a competitive advantage, it is often a drag on operations.
In short, the five-year plan is a suicidal practice for an ExO. If you don't send the company running in the wrong direction, it can present an inaccurate picture of what to expect later, even in the right direction.
the following items replace the five-year plans
Dashboards provide real-time information on how your business is progressing.
Take advantage of "moments of impact" to make decisions in a clean and productive way
PTM as a general guide and emotional involvement
A one-year operational plan (maximum) that connects to the Scorecard.
the reach produced by the Internet revolution rejects the need to acquire assets.
nowadays a small team can do great things
A very illuminating example is the way that Netflix, with its DVD rental and its small brand, was able to maneuver with ease and ended up destroying Blockbuster, despite its 9,000 stores and geographic assets spread all over the place. In the software world, Salesforce
Uber scales, is helping its drivers buy vehicles. Your pre-purchase of 2,500 Google vehicles will provide a huge wave of data that will be converted into new services
which operates 100% in the cloud, can adapt to changing market conditions in a much easier way than its competitor can
A very important mechanism to empower individuals and small teams in all parts of the world
The emblem of this new reality is cloud computing, which offers the possibility of storing and managing massive amounts of information with unlimited processing, all based on "cost per use" that does not require initial expenses or capital investments.
In practice, this makes memory almost free
This philosophy of renting and not owning further extends the current craze for collaborative consumption and sharing economy.
Whether it is facilities, equipment, computers or people, the concept of renting instead of owning is a major contributory factor to agility and flexibility
autonomy is a very powerful motivator in this era of the exponential organization
Millennials are naturally independent, digital natives, and resistant to control and top-down hierarchies
there are five key precepts for Zappos that guide the culture of the organization
Business model: what energizes you while you're doing it
Wow and uniqueness factors: what makes you different from others
Purpose: why you do it
Values: what matters to you
Vision: what are you doing
Another key reason ExOs are implementing trust frameworks is that, in this incredibly volatile world, predictable processes and stable, continuous environments are dying out.
It is important to understand that open trust frameworks cannot be implemented in isolation or simply by

Welcome to the sensor revolution, one of the most important and least technologically celebrated today.
This revolution also impacts our bodies
Numerous new devices have emerged from this movement. One of them is Spire, a QS device that measures respiration. Singularity University alumnus Francesco Mosconi is Spire's Chief Data Officer
On a much more personal level, the human body has approximately ten trillion cells operating in an ecosystem of unimaginable complexity.
ExOs are taking advantage of this acceleration trend in one of two ways: by creating new business models in existing data flows or by adding new data flows to old paradigms.
