...
Our organizational structures have evolved mainly to manage scarcity of people, money and assets / resources. The concept of ownership works well for scarcity Accessing or sharing works better in an abundant, information-based world."

Massive Transformative Purpose, or MTP—the higher, aspirational purpose of the organization. Every ExO we know has one. Some aim to transform the planet, others just an industry. But radical transformation is the name of the game.

It's not exponential, it's sigmoidal - O'Reilly Radar by Tim O'Reilly
exponential vs. linear and cubic curvessigmoidal curve

"... all that talk about the exponential growth of various web sites.
Don’t people realize that those curves are actually sigmoidal?”...

These curves look exponential but eventually they do flatten out. In fact, one of the most important sigmoidal functions is the logistic function,"

"A logistic function or logistic curve is a common "S" shape (sigmoid curve), with equation:"
