Summary: <div class="smart-track-player-container stp-color-ffffff-EEEEEE"></div> <p>Kent first encountered the idea of an exponential organization (ExO) at Singularity University (SU). It was there that Kent would embrace the world of ExOs and data activation, two disciplines that are currently helping organizations solve some of the world’s most complex problems more efficiently.</p> <p>From Autodesk to your local city government, Kent has since helped organizations of all shapes and sizes harness the full potential of technology for the greater good, all while achieving exceptional results at a fraction of the cost of a traditional organization.</p> <p>So if you want to learn how ExOs are set to change the face of the planet, listen in to Jay’s conversation with Kent and uncover:</p> <ul> <li>How exponential organizations get 10x the results at 1/10 the cost of a traditional organization</li> <li>What it takes to attend Singularity University</li> <li>Why data is your startup’s most powerful asset at any stage</li> </ul> <p><strong>Listen to this episode on </strong><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jay-kim-show-entrepreneurship/id1195300022?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iTunes</a><strong>.</strong></p> <p>What was your biggest insight from this week’s episode?
