3. “The problem large companies face is, as they get bigger, as they scale,
things slow down. They lose speed because they have so many systems
and structures and processes, and they lose the ability to take risks.”
Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School

4. Most companies like to see
innovation as part of their own DNA,
but in reality, virtually all large
organizations are naturally
dampening innovation.
Furthermore, companies think
throwing a few part-time people at
innovation will work miracles…
But it takes a concerted and
sustained effort to start
eliminating innovation
obstacles and start changing
culture.
