This document discusses growing complexity in organizations and the economy. It notes that every century, changes in consumption patterns create new demands that existing organizations struggle to meet. It argues we are in an age of mass individualization where services are personalized. People now organize in immediate, decentralized networks that react quickly to inputs like companies. Distributed capitalism relies on these complex networks. The document also discusses how organizations need to understand customers' circumstances rather than just measuring their own solutions. It advocates enabling frontline teams to self-organize and react instantly to changes, unleashing value. Successful organizations allow their stakeholders and talents to liberate them.

We are living in the age of mass individualization. No
two people get the same Google search result, see
the same products on amazon.com, have the same
Facebook feed or iTunes catalogue. Every smartphone
is unique two minutes after its first boot.
We are living in an age where the new mega industries have all become personal services
industries and the old incumbents are still struggling to put out a mass product at almost no
margin or cost (e.g. digital news media, insurance, banks, bikes, cars, tooth picks etc.).

IMMEDIATE, DECENTRALIZED
NETWORKS. Lasting from seconds
to months or years. These networks
are distributed, they don’t have a
plan and only react when input hits
them. Companies become the
input variable.

IN REGARDS TO PERSON, PROCESS, TECHNOLOGY, BEHAVIOR AND OUTCOME

12. Over time organizations seem to forget their understanding of the market, their CVP. They become
prone to unconsciously hold a very limited view of their future. Seeing the world from a technology,
market or product perspective creates a very narrow frame of reference where new wealth
opportunities are easily overlooked.
ORGANIZATIONS DON’T DIE — THEY SUFFOCATE
Operating in the market from the perspective of its Stakeholder Value Proposition
Competition offering the same CVP is
conciously let in as they are using
different core technology or core
business model
Creating a market by understanding the customer’s progress,
struggle and circumstance (customer value proposition)
The original technology and processes end
up becoming a commodity or infrastructure

17. The old management model is a control mechanism subdividing talent into
compartments where top-management destroys their ability to create value.
Enabling organizations are driving information rapidly out to front-line self-
organizing teams in order for them to operate autonomously and react
instantly to changes in customer demand patterns. Employees given the
opportunity to use their talent unleash massive wealth for the corporation.
Cases in point: Salesforce, Netflix, Patagonia, Zappos, Tesla, AirBNB, Morning Star, Etsy, Nest, Spotify, Valve, Google, Burtzorg, Haier, Gore Technologies, DSM, GE Health, Whole Foods, Zara, Telus, Uber, Amazon, Facebook, Apple
