Exponential Organizations

by Salim Ismail with Michael S. Malone and Yuri van Geest

The Singularity University framework for companies that scale ten times faster: a massive transformative purpose plus SCALE and IDEAS attributes. Enthusiastic and framework-heavy; useful vocabulary, uneven evidence.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Leverage assets you do not own.
