The Counterintuitive Nature of Exponential Growth
from 5 Minutes Podcast with Ricardo Vargas · host Ricardo Viana Vargas
In this week's episode, Ricardo talks about the exponential growth of problems in the project. He explains with several examples what exponential growth is, such as the behaviour of social networks when a post is shared with ten people and that each one will share with another ten people. So on, the number of views has a massive growth. We often rely on intuition to make a future prediction, imagining linearity. Still, we live in an era of turbulent, dynamic and transformational scenarios where one small problem in your project can trigger another, and you have an avalanche of problems in the end. Trusting your intuition is essential, but it's much better to trust the numbers you're getting on your project. Listen to the #5minpodcast to know more.
