An International Phenomenon

Exponential Organizations proved to be a phenomenon. It has sold more than 600,000 copies in more than 20 languages, making it one of the most successful business books ever written and one of the most successful books ever published in Silicon Valley. It set off a global movement. As companies implemented their own exponential programs, they swapped notes and best practices. Soon, they were knocking on Salim’s door in droves.

Faced with this onslaught of interest, Salim created OpenExO, a community and ecosystem of 24,000 consultants, entrepreneurs, innovators, and academics that serves as a clearinghouse for exponential transformation. OpenExO is a dynamic archive of companies implementing the exponential attributes and detailing their successes and frustrations along the way. Inevitably, it has grown into an ecosystem that helps companies and governments transition to this new world.

Salim quickly became an in-demand speaker, not just to large corporations but also to industry groups and even national governments around the world. He understood if organizations didn’t get on board quickly, this point of inflection would leave them behind forever, with no way to catch up.
