NVIDIA Could Quickly Dwarf Google In Size And Scope, And It's Not About Technology. This quarter's numbers show a spectacular business growing at an unprecedented rate, and it's not about tech prowess, it's really cultural. https://lnkd.in/gGZXjJy9

Josh at what cost, while NVIDIA emphasizes that its "accelerated computing" is far more energy-efficient than traditional CPUs for AI tasks, its rapid expansion is driving a massive surge in the consumption of global energy, water, and mineral resources. Despite achieving 100% renewable electricity for its direct operations in FY2025, approximately 98% of NVIDIA's carbon footprint remains in its Scope 3 emissions (supply chain and product use), over which it has less direct control. This is the other side of the story that no one tells or highlights. https://news.ugreen.io/p/nvidia-uses-100-renewable-energy-ugreen-offers-green-iot-environmental-monitoring
Fast growth often gets attributed to product or services. Over time, it usually comes back to how people make decisions when the stakes rise. Culture is not a slogan. It shows up in who gets trusted, what gets funded, and what gets stopped.

Culture is the real accelerator when growth is this steep. Execution speed, clarity, and learning discipline compound faster than any product advantage, and they are much harder for competitors to copy.
Interesting perspective. We often talk about innovation in terms of technology, but culture and people play an equally important role in long-term growth. Companies that invest in their people usually scale better.
Josh Bersin The assertion that NVIDIA's spectacular growth is cultural, not purely technological, offers a profound perspective. It highlights how an intrinsic organizational ethos can drive market dominance and unprecedented expansion beyond mere product innovation. This is a critical distinction for sustainable success.
Impressive growth! Shows the power of culture over just technology.
The values element stands out here - that quote from Jensen Huang really does cut through doesn't it?I wonder if their success will make other big tech companies a little nervous about how they operate.
As always ...you're teaching me something new ✨Josh Bersin 🙏🚀
The margin is CRAZY!! These culture insights are fascinating
A profound observation, Josh. We are witnessing a rare moment in industrial history where the 'shovels' aren't just supporting the gold rush—they are redefining the entire landscape of the mine. What makes NVIDIA’s potential dominance so distinct from the search era is their deep integration into the R&D layer of every major industry, from biotech to autonomous systems. It’s a shift from 'organizing the world’s information' to 'powering the world’s intelligence' at the silicon level. In your view, does this concentration of compute power necessitate a new framework for how we think about organizational agility and 'tech debt' in the enterprise?
