I have bad news for C-suite leaders who think that organizations designed with a scarcity mindset and traditional hierarchical command and control structures will thrive. B2B SaaS companies that don’t evolve to incorporate community-oriented, trust-based networks and ecosystems in their business are unsustainable and will face serious growth headwinds.

Such companies will not grow, will not get additional funding, will not attract the best, most creative people, and will shrink away in the next three to five years.
