The Evolving Corporation
summary
Argues that corporations evolve from a bureaucratic lizard brain into map‑based, higher‑IQ systems by adding sensors, networks and analytics; cites 1954 payroll on a Univac for GE as the digitization inflection, the nematode analogy with 302 neurons (20 in the pharyngeal brain), and decades: ~50 years of digitizing, ~30 years of networking. Gives concrete signals and tools — web logs and petabytes of logs, GPS, RFID, Nest, IBM Watson, Wolfram Alpha, Monte Carlo and ML — and measures IQ as working memory, perception and decision speed.
