ABSTRACT

After everything we’ve discussed in these pages, one final question remains: What is all of this about? After all, most organizations are doing perfectly (or almost perfectly) well without having all of these principles in place. Some even purposely choose not to put these principles in place, their executives saying they want to preserve the pioneer’s start-up mindset. Isn’t that at the end something any business owner, accountable to a profit center, is doing naturally? Indeed, at least to a certain extent.
