ABSTRACT
This chapter recognizes that a startup is not a smaller version of a large company. It discusses the startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. The corollary for an enterprise is as follows: A company is a permanent organization designed to execute a repeatable and scalable business model. In the 20th century, business schools and consulting firms developed an amazing management stack to assist companies to execute. Once the business model is known, the company organizes around that goal, measures efforts to reach the goal, and seeks the most efficient ways to do so. This systematic process of execution needs to be repeatable and scalable throughout a large organization by employees with a range of skills and competencies. Historically, human resources was responsible for recruiting, retaining, and removing employees to execute known business functions with known job specs.
