strategyexponential

Strategyexponential is a strategic approach that integrates traditional strategic planning with exponential thinking to anticipate and leverage accelerating technologies and market dynamics.

Core ideas include identifying exponential technologies, building platforms and ecosystems, emphasizing speed and experimentation, and designing for scalability and adaptability.

Process involves horizon scanning and tech-trend mapping, envisioning future business models, assembling a portfolio of bets, conducting rapid experiments, and tracking metrics such as growth velocity and return on learning.

Applications and benefits: used in corporate strategy, startups, and policy planning to accelerate value creation, increase resilience, and align organizations with fast-moving trends.

Risks and criticisms: overreliance on technology, speculative bets, governance complexity, ethical concerns, bias, and the difficulty of measuring impact when outcomes are nonlinear. The term is a neologism in business discourse and has no universal definition.

Examples: AI-first product strategy, digital twins for operations, and platform ecosystems that scale via partner networks.
