These are absolute numbers that attract attention, as they are a significant milestone and may indicate a trend to success. But these numbers may also mean an isolated achievement, that don\u2019t lead much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assumption behind it is that once this magic number is achieved, the exponential explosion happens. The deception often comes from the fact that in the early stage exponential growth resembles the linear growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve once achieved 1 million downloads<\/a> of a mobile phone game in the app store, but that was pretty much the end of it as the market for Nokia-owned OS smartphones was rapidly declining, forcing me to look elsewhere. I\u2019ve abandoned the project, even though I could have done something different, like porting it (pivoting) to another platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a way to control and drive the development and growth of the project, product, or a service, that helps bend the curve towards the north. Exponential growth requires to understand and control the abundance of opportunities around us. The ExO model defines two sets of attributes that help deal with that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using S<\/strong>taff on demand to conduct core business operations with outsourced dynamic pool of workers. Using I<\/strong>nterfaces and D<\/strong>ashboards for visualization and analysis of key data. This is key factor to decision making. According to a popular legend, during a tour of NASA headquarters in 1961, John F. Kennedy encountered a janitor mopping the floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy are you working so late?\u201d Kennedy asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMr President,\u201d the janitor responded, \u201cI\u2019m helping put a man on the moon.\u201d The reason to know why to invest our money, time or energy has also been emotively described by Simon Sinek in his TED talk<\/a>. This idea is commonly translated into organizational MTP<\/strong> \u2013 Massive Transformative Purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/mobiosis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/linear-vs-exponential-1024x658-1.png\")

Using A<\/strong>lgorithms allows to automate complex tasks, especially when dealing with large data sets.

Conveying E<\/strong>xperiments with real customers to validate assumptions before making key changes to the product or a significant investment.
Giving A<\/strong>utonomy to the development teams. Flat structures as compared to the hierarchical are driven by motivated self-starters rather than driven by orders.
