About this listen

In business, performance is key. In performance, 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 get bigger, leveraging assets like community, big data, algorithms, and new technology into achieving performance benchmarks 10 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 10 characteristics of Exponential Organizations. Here, in Exponential Organizations, they walk the listener through how any company, from a startup to a multinational, can become an ExO, streamline its performance, and grow to the next level.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Frost & Sullivan's 2014 Growth, Innovation, and Leadership Book of the Year Exponential Organizations should be required reading for anyone interested in the ways exponential technologies are reinventing best practices in business." (Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google)
" Exponential Organizations is the most pivotal book in its class. Salim examines the future of organizations and offers readers his insights on the concept of Exponential Organizations because he himself embodies the strategy, structure, culture, processes, and systems of this new breed of company." (John Hagel, The Center for the Edge)

Loved it, whether you're staring a regular or online business you should definitely listen and apply what is in this book.

Bit dated now but still enlightening.

This book was recommended to me by a colleague and I decided to buy the audiobook version.
The audio sounds rather unnatural, as if a robot was reading it and it has a monotonous tone that made me disconnect several times.
The content is ok, in this fast paced world we live in it's starting to become a tad outdated

Unnatural narration

Whilst I found some of the concepts in this book interesting, I found it a really hard book to listen to as the level of detail was (to my mind) too much. I therefore felt I really needed to actively listen all the time to make sure I could pick out the key points from within the detail

Very detailed and you really need to concentrate

Transformative book, I felt ashamed and behind reading this is in 2019 as CEO but all predictions actualise by the day and the book does a good job painting it clear as day. Vouching for Rifkin’s follies at the end was a spit in the mouth to the economically literate audience of this book though. Another thing, you will need the physical book to take away the important findings and checklists.

Seminal for C suite member but beware of fallacious economics near the end

Clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed that is full of examples so it helps understanding the concepts

Highly recommend this for any business leader, disruption is inevitable but with the right mindset and good use of any companies can actually benefit from it than suffer from it

Great read! Makes you think long term in a different way

Inspiring, but felt a bit unsubstantiated, jumped around too much to get deeper insight. Didn't make it all the way through. But a really useful premise and observation about commonalities among these companies are intriguing.

Some interesting ideas, a lot of hyperbole
