9 Digitized Demonetized Dematerialized Democratized Peter Diamandis The Exponential Framework: the 4 D s + A Connected World Global & Connected The rate of innovation is a function of the number of people connected and exchanging ideas.

10 Larry Page Go Big Observation - many of our grand challenges are rooted in accelerating factors Are you working on something that can change the world? Yes or no? The answer for % of people in the world is no. I think we need to be training people on how to change the world. Obviously technologies are the way to do that. That s what we ve seen in the past, that s what driven all the change. - Larry Page, Google Co-Founder at SU founding conference

11 What we do EDUCATION: PROGRAMS & PUBLIC FORUMS APPLICATIONS: STARTUPS & LARGE COMPANIES GLOBAL COMMUNITY

12 Our Experiments for a New Model of Education What is the explosion of data enabling? A look at some of the core technologies we teach...

13 Our approach to education

14 The Exponential Growth of Information 5 Exobytes = 5 Billion Gigabytes From the start of time 2003 in 2010 ~ 2 Days in 2013 ~ 10 minutes > 60 hours of video content added to YouTube per minute

23 Deception of Linear vs Exponential You are here Disappointment Chaos/ Amazement

24 Our Experiments for a New Model of Education How can you direct accelerating technologies towards our world s largest problems?

25 Notwithstanding this amazing technological progress, humanity still faces grand challenges.

26 Technology is a resource-liberating mechanism It can make the once-scarce the now-abundant.

27 Technology can solve humanity s biggest problems 900MM people live on less than US$1 per day

28 Technology can solve humanity s biggest problems 900MM people live on less than US$1 per day 1.1B people don t have access to clean water

29 Technology can solve humanity s biggest problems 900MM people live on less than US$1 per day 800MM people cannot read and write 1.1B people don t have access to clean water

30 Technology can solve humanity s biggest problems 900MM people live on less than US$1 per day 800MM people cannot read and write 1.1B people don t have access to clean water Climate change will disrupt every city and industry

36 What we represent

37 Our Experiments in Entrepreneurship & Innovation What happens when you take crazy ideas and turn them into action?

38 Where ideas meet action

39 SALIM ISMAIL Exponential Organizations How companies are evolving in the face of disruptive change

40 20 th century models no longer work Old business architectures were about scaling efficiencies and predictability. Today, we need to scale learning and adaptability. - John Seely Brown In a world where rapid and disruptive change are becoming the norm, hierarchical, commandand-control corporations can t cope.

41 A new breed of org structure is emerging Exponential Organizations are scaling at unprecedented rates and achieving 10x performance premiums vs. industry peers

42 Examples in retail, Linear vs. Exponential Organizations: 300 days from product idea to retail store shelf 29 days from product idea to retail store shelf

43 as well as in automotive... Linear vs. Exponential Organizations: $3 Billionto bring new car model to market $3 Millionto bring new car model to market

44 The Exponential Organization formula = M.T.P + S.C.A.L.E. + I.D.E.A.S. Massive Transformative Purpose Inspires a community to form Helps attract and retain talent Orients the organization toward external impact vs. internal politics Focuses the organization during periods of rapid growth

45 The Exponential Organization formula Massive Transformative Purpose STRONG: Organize the world's informationgoogle Ideas worth spreadingted Make invention accessiblequirky Open HappinessTHE COCA-COLA COMPANY Radical breakthroughs benefiting humanityxprize FOUNDATION Positively impact 1B peoplesingularity UNIVERSITY

46 The Exponential Organization formula Massive Transformative Purpose WEAK: Shape the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, employees, investors, and ecosystem partners.cisco

60 Why are we global? Humanity s grand challenges are global in nature. The minds to innovate the solutions are globally distributed. therefore, We must be globally distributed to support solutions that will impact billions.

61 Thus, To achieve our mission, we will develop a global network of local SU innovation ecosystems that are: VALUES DRIVEN: We aspire to leverage accelerating technologies that will address grand challenges; SHARING A BOLD VISION FOR THE FUTURE: We aim to galvanize communities around a bold vision for the future, centered on how to reframe global challenges as new opportunities; PARTNER ORIENTED: We do not want to do it alone. We seek to partner with existing institutions (accelerators, venture funds, universities, media, etc) -- acknowledging the need to catalyze nascent ecosystems, and also layer on top of existing ecosystems; INCLUSIVE: We believe that it will take many types of organizations and people to achieve our mission.
