Great dreams aren't just visions. They're visions coupled to strategies for making them real.

– Astro Teller

If the topics touched on in the previous sections are new to you, take the time to research them further. A solid understanding of why and how every industry is being disrupted will set the imperative for your business transformation. To get you started, we've provided a list of resources that lay much of this groundwork (see the Recommended Reading section at the end of the book). Pg 384

Perhaps you're well acquainted with the imperative for transforming or building your business to leverage the benefits of accelerating technologies but are new to how to approach the challenge. In this case, clearly understanding the building blocks for creating your new Exponential Organization is the next step. Look to the 11 ExO attributes described in the next section of the book, along with the ExO Canvas you will use to implement them.

If you're ready to get to work—you're already clear on the need to transform your business and you understand the components of the ExO model—go straight to the ExO Sprint sections of the book to get underway.

Once you've completed your first ExO Sprint, you will have amassed an invaluable base of knowledge within your organization. Experienced ExO Sprint team members will be able to carry exponential thinking and techniques forward into their daily work and can use this book to run additional ExO Sprint projects on their own.

Use Exponential Transformation as a coach, companion, and guide as you conduct your ExO Sprints. Each section, including the Core and Edge stream assignments, is written to stand alone and be referenced as needed.

Are you ready for an unusual, exciting, and rewarding journey? Ready, set, transform!
