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 ten times better than its peers. In EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS, they walk the reader through how any company, from a startup to a multi-national, can become an ExO, streamline its performance, and grow to the next level.

“A practical handbook for using Exponential Organization to transform your organization—and disrupt your industry—in 10 weeks
Exponential Transformation is the detailed implementation handbook for becoming an Exponential Organization. The book enables organizations to speed up their transformation and overcome the obstacles to success.
by Ann Boothello, Eric Patel, Kevin Allen, Karina Besprosvan, Anthony Boschi, Mac Carvalho, Philip Earnhart, Niki Faldemalaei, Angela Faye, David Forman, Julie Hamilton, Paola Hurtado, Howard Rankin, Steven Rodriguez, Gerard Scheenstra, Mynor Schult, Dolapo Tukuru
"We concluded that the building blocks for any collective, be it an organization, community, family or circle of friends - are the individuals themselves. If individuals are not firstly aligned with themselves - body, mind, soul and spirit - they will not function as optimal individuals within the collective. Secondly, if the energy they expend in the work they do is not aligned to that of the collective’s common purpose, neither they nor the collective will thrive. Hence finding the others to co-create with, be it to build a home, produce a creative project, grow a social good initiative or in work is critical to nurturing our sense of belonging and cultivate harmony. In order to ensure collective harmony, individuals must deepen their level of self-awareness so that they can contribute to their own level of fulfillment and the greater good.
With burn-out, mental health and the pre- and post-pandemic lifestyle implications being a harsh reality, The Exponential Individual Playbook & initiatives that surround it, were birthed to help alleviate these global trends and create a promising future.The Exponential Individual Playbook is a collection of pathways and your guide to becoming your best self and living a more harmonious life."

After months of searching for best-in-breed solutions to C-Suite challenges in our mastermind group, we decided to publish our top strategies in this book,” says Miguel de Jesus, one of 14 co-authors of “Build To Grow” which is currently climbing the best-seller charts on Amazon. “We wanted [the book] to give busy executives a sigh of relief, and I think we’ve accomplished that.”

SOUL OF THE SEA: In the Age of the Algorithm
by Nishan Degnarain (Author), Gregory S Stone (Author)
“This publication draws upon the fields of science, economics, and business strategy to chart the future of humankind’s relationship to the ocean. A healthy ocean provides the basis for a prosperous world, and oceans have been largely ignored as a driver of human well-being until now. Ocean health has been in a serious state of decline for the past 100 years from a range of pressures including human population growth, energy consumption, and use of natural resources. Humanity will exceed the resources and environmental conditions necessary to exist, within the next century if nothing changes. Solutions to these challenges lie not only in traditional resource conservation management but in new fields of technology, governance, and innovation.”

Emotional Learning: Sustaining Success Despite Life's Ups and Downs
Emotional Learning is the key to thriving in life and business, despite the inevitable ups and downs. How we get along with other people is more important than how much we know. This book builds on the concepts Jim Harris presented in his first book The Learning Paradox. That book argues that 80% of the technology we will use in our day-to-day lives in just 10 years hasn't been invented yet. Therefore, job security today is based on learning, changing and accepting uncertainty. Paradoxically, what we fear most as adults is learning, changing and uncertainty. Our job security is based on the very thing we fear most.
The Learning Paradox: Gaining Success & Security In a World of Change
The most potent catalyst in a firm's success is change. In this insightful book, Jim Harris details the philosophy and specifics of creating companies that respond successfully to change. With practical advice from companies who've made resilience a corporate motto, The Learning Paradox offers insights on how to adapt to the chaotic new world of business, including how to create, motivate, and continuously improve, and design systems and structures for growth.

Le organizzazioni esponenziali in Italia
Più veloci e performanti, aperte e vincenti: la strategia che mette il turbo alle aziende migliorando il business e cambiando il mondo.
Con le tecnologie digitali utilizzate alla loro massima possibilità, una ventina d’anni fa si è constatato che il tasso di crescita delle organizzazioni mette il turbo. Se nel mondo pre informatizzato la crescita procedeva con il tempo, questa regola con l’avvento delle tecnologie digitali è saltata. Non solo. Se si fa l’uso dell’outsourcing al massimo grado, se si organizza la domanda con velocità elevata e se si costruisce una community che ti supporta, si è visto che le cose cambiano in meglio.
