The Shift from Owning to Accessing
Traditional businesses accumulate assets, which require capital, maintenance, and create rigidity. Exponential Organizations take a different approach—they access assets rather than own them.
From cloud computing to shared office spaces, leveraging assets allows you to scale rapidly without the burden of ownership.

Types of Assets to Leverage
Almost any asset can be leveraged rather than owned:
- Cloud computing and storage (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
- Office space (WeWork, Regus, co-working spaces)
- Manufacturing capacity (3D printing services, contract manufacturing)
- Vehicles and logistics (Uber, fleet leasing)
- Equipment and machinery (rental services, equipment-as-a-service)
- Software and tools (SaaS platforms for every function)
