Quote of the day: Exponential Organizations: Why new organizations are ten times better, faster, and cheaper than yours (and what to do about it), Salim Ismail
“Traditional organizational structures, designed over the last few hundred years to hierarchically manage physical assets and the people to manage those assets, are rapidly becoming obsolete. To compete in our rapidly changing world, we need a new kind of organization, one that is not only able to manage this change, but also thrives in it.”
