• social, mobile & online for front-end functions

• nanotech, robotics, 3D printing, sensors, AI

• crowdsourcing (leveraging the crowd), DIY*, P2P**, crowd companies, AI, Nanofactories

• *Do-It-Yourself: Movement of people who create things without the help of experts or professionals

•**:Peer-to-Peer: a decentralized network leveraging direct interactions between people

An Exponential Organization (ExO) is one whose

impact (or output) is disproportionally large — at

least 10x larger — compared to its peers because

of the use of new organizational techniques that

leverage exponential technologies.

Our organizational structures have evolved mainly to

manage scarcity of people, money and assets /

The concept of ownership works well for scarcity

Accessing or sharing works better in an abundant,

information-based world.
