brand's reputation and loyalty, dramatically reduce customer

Communities have been a popular topic since the rise of the
Internet and social media, but few companies have consistently
harnessed their power, driven tangible value, and effectively
measured their return on investment (ROI) like: Salesforce.com has
seen tremendous results with their community network of over 2
million members advocating for, supporting, and integrating
Salesforce.com products Star Citizen used Kickstarter to raise over
$150 million to build their new video game and a community of over
2 million players. Red Hat collaborated with their community to
build industry-leading technology, which led to a $34 billion
acquisition by IBM Companies such as PayPal, Facebook, Bosch,
Microsoft, CapitalOne, and Google, have also built communities
inside their organizations, which have fostered innovation, broken
down silos, and helped their organizations to operate more
efficiently and collaboratively. People Powered helps C-suite
leaders, founders, marketers, customer advocates, and community
leaders gain a competitive advantage by answering the following
questions: What is the key value proposition of building a
community? What kind of community do we need and how do we build
and integrate it into our organization? How do we incentivize and
encourage people to get involved, build reliable growth, and keep
community members engaged? How do we develop authentic, productive
relationships with community members both online and in person? How
do we get departmental buy-in, hire effectively, and create
consistent, reliable community engagement skills in our
organization? What are the strategic and tactical pitfalls and
roadblocks we need to avoid? How do we make sure that our community
continues to grow with us-and more importantly, how do we make sure
that we continue to grow with them? People Powered pulls together

The "New York Times "bestselling "manifesto for the future that is
grounded in practical solutions addressing the world's most
pressing concerns: overpopulation, food, water, energy, education,
health care and freedom" ("The Wall Street Journal").
Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark
contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says
this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing--fast.
In "Abundance," space entrepreneur turned innovation pioneer Peter
H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler
document how progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, digital
manufacturing synthetic biology, and other exponentially growing
technologies will enable us to make greater gains in the next two
decades than we have in the previous 200 years. We will soon have
the ability to meet and exceed the basic needs of every person on
the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp.
Breaking down human needs by category--water, food, energy,
healthcare, education, freedom--Diamandis and Kotler introduce us
to innovators and industry captains making tremendous strides in
each area. "Not only is "Abundance" a riveting page-turner...but
it's a book that gives us a future worth fighting for. And even
more than that, it shows us our place in that fight" ("The
Christian Science Monitor").
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold
comes a practical playbook for technological convergence in our
modern era. In their book Abundance, bestselling authors and
futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler tackled grand global
challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy. Then, in Bold,
they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed
the emergence of powerful new entrepreneurs. Now the bestselling
authors are back with The Future Is Faster Than You Think, a
blueprint for how our world will change in response to the next ten
years of rapid technological disruption. Technology is accelerating
far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. During the next
decade, we will experience more upheaval and create more wealth
than we have in the past hundred years. In this gripping and
insightful roadmap to our near future, Diamandis and Kotler
investigate how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating
technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a
whole. What happens as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital
biology, and sensors crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global
gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today's
legacy industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids,
govern our nations, and care for our planet? Diamandis, a
space-entrepreneur-turned-innovation-pioneer, and Kotler,
bestselling author and peak performance expert, probe the science
of technological convergence and how it will reinvent every part of
our lives-transportation, retail, advertising, education, health,
entertainment, food, and finance-taking humanity into uncharted
territories and reimagining the world as we know it. As
indispensable as it is gripping, The Future Is Faster Than You
Think provides a prescient look at our impending future.
"A visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the
world-and invaluable advice about bringing together the partners
and technologies to help them do it." -President Bill Clinton A
radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot
thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts.
Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are
disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart
entrepreneurs to go from "I've got an idea" to "I run a
billion-dollar company" far faster than ever before. The authors
provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing,
artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and
synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires
such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and
reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a
look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today's
hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach
how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar
crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of
capital, and finally how to build communities-armies of
exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today's
entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

Frost & Sullivan’s 2014 Growth, Innovation, and Leadership
Book of the Year In business, performance is key. In performance,
how you organize can be the key to growth. In the past five years,
the business world has seen the birth of a new breed of
company—the Exponential Organization—that has revolutionized
how a company can accelerate its growth by using technology. An ExO
can eliminate the incremental, linear way traditional companies get
bigger, leveraging assets like community, big data, algorithms, and
new technology into achieving performance benchmarks ten times
better than its peers. Three luminaries of the business
world—Salim Ismail, Yuri van Geest, and Mike Malone—have
researched this phenomenon and documented ten characteristics of
Exponential Organizations. Here, in EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS, they
walk the reader through how any company, from a startup to a
multi-national, can become an ExO, streamline its performance, and
grow to the next level. Chosen by Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime
Minister of Israel, to be one of Bloomberg's Best Books of 2015
