Note to Reader

“We’ve learned how to scale technology;
now it’s time to scale the organization.”

• Exponential Organizations, First Version, 2014

Note the Reader

When we unveiled the first edition of Exponential Organizations back in 2014, we were stepping into the unknown. 

Would the world embrace our ideas? 

Would they implement our principles into their lives and careers?

Little did we know, our concepts would trigger a global transformation, impacting leaders, businesses, even entire nations across myriad industries.

Fast forward nearly a decade, our inbox overflows with tales of burgeoning Exponential Organizations (ExOs for short), creating an avalanche of value for clients, customers, and stakeholders each week.

So, here we are, humbly and gratefully, bringing you the second edition. The world is shifting under our feet, and the need for ExOs has never been more critical.

Are you geared up to embark on an exhilarating journey into the realm of ExOs? If your answer is a resounding ‘Yes’, then keep reading. We’re thrilled to be your navigators. To get you started, we present the ExO Mind Map™, the master blueprint for this journey, and this book. 

ExO Mind Map™

On the right side, you’ll notice the first letter of each word spells SCALE. This section constitutes Part 2 of this book. Now look to the left side. The first letter of each word spells IDEAS. This section constitutes Part 3.

We wanted to provide this context—almost a You Are Here—so you can lock in the coordinates of where we begin and where we end in our journey together. Hence the name: ExO Mind Map™.
