An\u00a0Exponential Organization, according to Salim Ismail\u2019s book of the same name<\/a>, \u201cis one whose impact (or output) is disproportionately large\u2014at least 10x larger\u2014compared to its peers because of the use of new organizational techniques that leverage accelerating technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n Curious Cog, as of the minute this article was published, has not invented a physical product the world has not yet seen. However, my goal for a website design company like Curious Cog, is to take exponential attributes and philosophies, and apply them to professional services to improve my market position and provide customers with the best return on every dollar they spend.<\/p>\n How do I accomplish this? Well, here is my company purpose:<\/p>\n Focus on the Person. The Service will Follow.<\/p>\n From the inception of my first company in 2009, I set out to be different. I had worked in retail and service jobs throughout my teens and through college, and continued to be customer focused after graduation. These personal experiences were the platform I built my company around, focusing on putting the customer first and providing the best possible service money can buy, at a price much lower than the best money can buy. By keeping overhead low, refusing headcount additions until the pain is unbearable, leveraging open-sourced and crowd-funded applications ahead of expensive traditional avenues to run payroll, accounting and invoicing, and focusing on social marketing platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) that bring higher returns than costly traditional ones (newspaper ads, magazines, radio commercials), any organization of any size can begin to protect themselves in this new Wild West of disruption we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n
