This type of forward-thinking has far reaching benefits, and democratizes industries once controlled by large and powerful conglomerates who were seen as untouchable. Each of these disruptors (called Exponential Organizations by some) have created platforms that flip traditional thinking or systems or business sectors upside down, most of the time to the great benefit of the average consumer.<\/p>\nThe worst thing a traditional and long-standing corporate juggernaut can do is dig their heels in, and push \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d. This thinking led to the demise of Kodak. Resisting change and refusing to understand the way technology is re-shaping our lives will quickly lead to bankruptcy and displacement. These industry revolutionaries are rethinking the way value is created and consumed by the public, and are taking advantage of emerging technologies to scale with minimal resources and time.

We might not know where the water is taking us, but if we ride the wave one thing is for certain, the experience will be exciting.<\/p>\n
