Exponential Thinking for Exponential Growth
PWC’s Annual Global CEO Survey recommends Exponential Thinking because we are in an “exponential world”. This is true, but in ways that PWC fails to identify. We are accustomed to think in a linear way. For millennia, this thinking was appropriate. It led to thinking of organizations as a sum of various parts where control […]
