>but organizations lose their ability to deliver value as they grow all the time, which is where startups come in...
>I'm sure every person on this board can think of dozens of companies that failed because they got too big and could no longer deliver value as well as smaller companies. The tech space is littered with them every year.
Yes to both points. And so is the business (management) consulting and literature space littered with
stuff, a.k.a. work and talks and books and confs about all that. Throwing out a few words that give a flavor:
Disruption (ha!), Clayton Christensen, Tom Peters, reengineering, innovator's dilemma, the HP way, Lou Gerstner, Teaching Elephants to Dance, Jack Welch, the HP Way, the IBM Way, the Toyota Way, Made in America, Made in Japan, etc.
Tip of the iceberg.
