Salim Ismail

This book contains lots of useful information about how to give your organisation a chance of survival (be it a new one or an existing one of any size). It was repetitive at times and at points it felt like a Singularity University sales pitch but there was sufficient useful content for me to deem it a worthy read.

Exponential Organizations - already being hailed as the "must-read" book of the year by tech industry insiders -delivers groundbreaking analysis and insight, as well as "how-to" advice for companies of any size. It is poised to become this year's Lean Startup, a big business book about innovation.

O livro explora cases de organizações que apresentaram crescimento acelerado e tenta identificar as características operacionais e culturais que levam a esse crescimento acelerado.

Por vezes achei o tom um pouco exagerado e catastrofista, mas isso é esperado pelo tema ser polêmico e pelos autores quererem prender o leitor.

De forma geral é uma boa leitura.

Despite it's repetition later in the book, I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective that Salim details in the book. A lot of the trends, even several years later, still ring true for a lot of companies and industries. The examples provided are also enough to get you to think about ways you can try to introduce and nudge your organization to adopt some of the ExO characteristics.
