A business strategist argues that new organizational models leveraging technology and community can achieve disproportionately large impact with dramatically fewer resources than traditional organizations.

Read the summary

Key takeaways

  • A New Organizational Model for Exponential Growth
  • Massive Transformative Purpose
  • Leveraging External Assets Over Internal Ownership
  • Community and Engagement as Organizational Assets
  • Case Studies of Rapid Exponential Growth
  • Identifying Externalizable Resources in Your Own Organization

Action checklist

  • Identify one resource you could access (staff, assets, community) instead of owning outright
  • Explore one way technology could let a small team achieve outsized impact in your business

Final takeaway

Identify one resource your organization currently owns and maintains internally that could instead be accessed through community or external partnership — Ismail's consistent argument throughout the book is that this kind of deliberate shift toward externally-leveraged organizational design, guided by genuinely inspiring organizational purpose, represents a significant, increasingly viable alternative to traditional, internally-focused organizational models for achieving disproportionately rapid growth and impact.
