We are living in exponential times
In: our world
10 Jun 2009This week we present a new section: “our world”. Here we re-publish all kinds of statistics about the world we live in presented in innovative ways. We hope you like this section.
Some statistics are just mind-boggling. This fantastic video embedded below is about population growth, the rise of India and China (a changing world order) and the progression of Information Technology in the world. It is researched by Karl Fish, Scott McLeod and Jeff Bronman, remixed. Just amazing! The music is kind of loud, although we like it 
, you might want to turn the volume down a bit.
- What does this mean for the effective management of organizations in this rapidly changing world?
- What does this mean for 21st century knowledge management?
We would love to hear your ideas! Please feel free to add your vision in a comment. Together we know more!

That was a great video. It is indeed amazing how fast the world is changing. I think this provides great opportunities for Knowledge Management, because effective KM might help employees in making sense of the information overload that affects us all. We should see these changes and this time not as a burden, but as an era of sharing and development. We have never been so closely interconnected, and I love it!

The snowflakes fell to the ground, were scooped up into a snowball and rolled off the mountain peak. This exponential thrust of innovation facilitates the utilization and growth of our collective global knowledge at a rate not enjoyed prior by the industrial revolution. My hope is that this unleashed communication results in accelerated solutions to many of life’s unsolved mysteries and dilemmas.
