The business world has learned over the last two decades how to scale technology – now it’s time to scale the organization. A new breed of Exponential Organizations (or ExOs) are delivering 10x or better performance benchmarks compared to their peers. We present below the 100 most scalable organizations in the world, based on the diagnostic survey in the award-winning book, “Exponential Organizations”.

Farid Mheir's insight:
An essential book (kindle book http://amzn.to/1SC8rvp) from Ray Kurzweil that presents data supporting the theory that technological evolution follows an exponential curve. The chart is a famous illustration of this exponential technology growth. It explains quite well how the personal computer has been able to become part of our lives in such a rapid manner. With evidence and data form many technologies - from the microprocessor to DNA evolution - Kurzweil predicts a future where technology will help humans transcend the limitations that nature has imposed on us. Kurzweil is an optimist and shares with us a very positive outlook on the future. Not only is it an eye opening book, it has become the basis for a slew of new studies and gathering, including the singularity university.

A simple way to carve patterns onto nanodiamonds without damaging them could lead to a new generation of photonic devices, say materials scientists.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Very techno-geeky summary of a nanotechnology paper. This is for all my microelectronics friends and also to anyone that believes we are at end of evolution possible with microelectronics. We have indeed reached the limits of the current technologies but new ones like this come in play to carry moore's law further. The singularity is near will happen.

While Amazon makes a splash with drones, Google invests in robot technologies. Depending on your profession, that could be bad news.
Farid Mheir's insight:
There is so much to say on this topic and I've written about it numerous times before and recently.

This page presents some solutions that can be built on top of Grok, a new service that will be demonstrated in 2 days at the Amazon re:invent conference. I believe there are many more applications that those listed here. In Retail, for eCommerce prediction and fraud prevention. In Finance, for anomaly detection in the price of stocks or fasat changing data. Medical applications, weather applications, etc. etc. For those like me that were impressed with the book "On Intelligence" and are fans of the theory behind "Singularity is near", then this feels like another small but major step in the direction of intelligent machines.

Computer scientist and entrepreneur Jeff Hawkins -- best known as the inventor of the Palm Pilot -- has a unified theory of the brain's inner workings and has created algorithms for applying this theory to computer science. After leaving Handspring, Hawkins founded the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience to study the brain full-time, and he co-authored On Intelligence with Sandra Blakeslee. In 2005, he co-founded Grok, originally known as Numenta, to turn his intelligence research into a marketable product.

A very high level introduction and review of the work that led to Grok, a new service that will be demonstrated in 2 days at the Amazon re:invent conference.

Farid Mheir's insight:
A simple visualization of the power of compounded growth. Goes along with what Ray Kurweil explains at length in his book the singularity is near. But more striking with the example that Andrew McAfee presents in this video.

If you are familiar with the singularity university (http://singularityu.org/), then this website and accompanying book are just great.
If you are not then I encourage you to read the book The Singularity Is Near (http://sco.lt/8uRqUr) to understand the principles of exponential growth (http://sco.lt/5YVBnV) that explains the speed at which new technologies get introduced and adopted.
A must read for any digital transformation aficionado.
