The Hypergrowth Chronicles
Hypergrowth is the speed of our times. Communication, ideas, news, business, technology, culture, movements, people, history: it’s all moving faster than anyone ever imagined.
Technology drives a massive amount of change. The speed of technology drives a staggering amount of the changes in our world. New technology creates new opportunities which create new ways of being which drive new reactions. The cycle repeats itself daily.
People hypergrow right along with it. Writing about different topics, sharing stories from different corners of life and work, I always find myself gravitating toward the people at the center. Technology can metastasize within our culture, but people are always there. Thriving or just surviving, in command or out of control, it’s the people who make the stories.
I’m here to talk about it. I tell stories.
The writer Shantanu Kumar said, “Writing is thinking, and the more you write out your problems, the more you’ll start to slowly figure them out.”
I don’t have a problem, per se. But I am dedicated to chronicling this time and place in history. I hope you ‘ll join me on this journey of insights into the human side of it all.
Oh, yeah, and the story of ServiceNow, this company I’ve found myself at for the last thirteen years. Fastest growing software company in history. For a guy who never really even wanted a job, it’s been a profound experience. And one hell of a story. I’m serializing that one.
Stick around.
