WHAT DO EXOS HAVE IN COMMON?

BHAG

Slide 22

While the information-

based world is now

moving exponentially, our

organizational structures

are still very linear

(especially larger and

older ones).

Technology is also fast

moving BUT

Our management &

Leadership models have

been slow to catch up.

EXO IS A BIG CONCEPTStop seeing people as

*resources* but as

people. Move from HR

to Employee or People

Services. The world of

HR is rapidly

changing.

ExOs are also Agile

Organisations. They

deliver faster to market,

better products with

happy people. ExOs

embrace a culture of

Continuous Improvement

There is no more B2B, B2C, B2G or B2E its now Human 2 Human

ExOs are perfectly

fitted for the 21st

Century due to large

number of young

people embracing

new ideas and new

technologies
