Summary
Fully digitalized in every aspect for easy understanding and recall
Industries like publishing, music, movies, retail, and gaming have been completely transformed by digitalization. New technologies such as sensors, artificial intelligence, and driverless vehicles are reshaping every sector. Businesses must innovate quickly or risk becoming irrelevant. In the past, companies grew by controlling scarce resources like land and materials. They used strict rules and hierarchies to protect their assets. Today, digital "Exponential Organizations" thrive by leveraging free data, such as Waze using traffic information to help drivers and Google organize free website data. Companies like Facebook turn personal information into valuable content.
Traditional companies build walls for protection and view opportunities cautiously. When they spot a big chance, their size and bureaucracy often slow them down. For instance, Google spent two years developing Google+, but by then, nimble Facebook had already taken over the market. ExOs share key traits. They leverage data and grow following Moore's Law, doubling in size approximately every 18 months. They utilize free
