Discover how exceptional business leaders are using the ExO Blueprint to harness the power of market disruption to double company growth, year after year...

Being a technologist, I was well aware of all the rapid changes going on in the world. However, prior to Salim’s presentation, I was not aware of the level of impact these changes were having on organizations of all kinds. I had not really stepped back to see just how deep the impact really was.

EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS should be required...for anyone interested in the ways exponential technologies are reinventing best practices in business.

Exponential Organizations is a valuable guide for not only clearly analyzing how a modern organization can have an enormous impact amplified by the right use of technology, but also offers concrete tools for evaluating your own organization and taking steps to make it more future-proof by adopting the systems and behaviors the best employ.

For me, the key takeaway from the course was the importance of the MTP. We discussed it a lot during the course and also afterward, and we have learned that this is an important method to carry the business forward. It is the way to engage our clients, the staff on demand, the community, the investors, politicians, and others.

I learned the things happening in our business were very linear and traditional. And by taking the program I realized that there was a good chance for us to immerse ourselves in the process. The framework was very helpful to us in planning the next steps, so we can move forward in terms of becoming more competitive in the next era, or the next phase of the business.

The more concrete impact from the EXO course is a giant dashboard that's updated every day with critical numbers that are related to our five-year plan, our 10-year plan, our 15-year plan. So, visually, I see the difference every day in my work from the course. But my MTP, the Massive Transformative Purpose, that I came out of the class with also had a big influence on our change to our core values.

“It’s a how-to guide that provides direction based upon the experience of these successful exponential companies. This (is for) all C-level team members who have responsibility for growth and change adoption in their organizations - whether they are in large companies or small. If you bury your head in the sand and avoid the lessons to be learned on disruptive change...you do so at your own peril.”

“EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS is pivotal in its class. Salim examines the future of organizations and offers 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.”

“Exponential Organizations is a valuable guide for not only clearly analyzing how a modern organization can have an enormous impact amplified by the right use of technology, but also offers concrete tools for evaluating your own organization and take steps to make it more future-proof by adopting the systems and behaviors the best employ.”

Before I took the course, I was going through a tough moment in my business. One thing I learned is that I was doing "leveraged assets" very poorly before, trying to get everything and own it. Now I try to leverage assets instead. Also, Staff on Demand has been working really well. Instead of having designers do the same work all the time, we now collaborate with a lot of different designers and artists around the world. And we hadn’t been able to implement Community the way that we were supposed to. We’re planning now to build communities around people interested in art and better businesses. My main takeaway is that a company can have a shift in how they visualize the future. Instead of just thinking locally, in this course you can be thinking about doing it globally, and doing it really quickly.

EXO class expanded my understanding of exponential leadership. More specifically, what does it really take to lead exponentially from multiple perspectives? Exponential growth is accompanied by levels of experimentation that require employees and customers alike to persevere. This may best be achieved when they see their needs and desires recognized at the highest levels. Leaders will do well to use a process-oriented approach that is both “nimble and scalable”.
