Our mission statement at Singularity University is to create a new generation of leadership that can leverage accelerating technologies to solve major global problems. I have been doing this for about six years and was the head of innovation at Yahoo and Tech Entrepreneurship before that.As we launched Singularity six years ago we noticed at the same time that a very different model has become of how we build organizations. We’ve learned how to scale technology really well but scaling the organization and building that is painfully incrementally and linear. In the last five years or so we are seeing a new breed of organizational structure that can scale in the same seamless way that we scale technology. I noticed that as a weak signal five years ago, started tracking it, and over the last three years we have found over 60 organizations that are scaling at an average 10 times better, faster and cheaper compared to their peers. We started documenting those 60 organizations and tracking them and decided to write a book on the model.” – Salim IsmailFor a detailed summary of Exponential Organizations according to Salim Ismail CLICK HERERelated Books:Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel and Blake MastersThe Innovator's Method: Bringing the Lean Start-up into Your Organization by Nathan FurrFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.Category Tags: exo, new technologies, corporate strategy, major company growth, wallstreet, enterprise business, systems and planning, paypal, amazon, Walmart, apple, the small big, executive board
