Traditional organizations are modeled on the Roma Legion two thousand years back rather than the ever evolving human brain. This is what is holding human development back. Newer disruptive technologies are causing changes faster than organizations can keep up primarily because they are locked in older versions of work which do not cater to developing networks. A researcher has confirmed that present day inhabitants of the C Suite in most organizations consider strategic thinking to be a lazy aspect as they may themselves have risen up the ladder using working on several fields. Very few organizations are being able to leverage concepts such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things or Machine learning to develop innovations. Google, Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook are those few exceptions. Tesla belongs to the future and glimpses of the impending times have already been shown to us. Ironically it is these frontier companies that are slowing down the progress of others as rivals are unable to cope up with their pace of business innovation.
