Interesting article, but coming from a personal experience of having worked for a large CPG corporation, it's shown me that once a company is scaled to a certain size, employing small working groups outside the usual corporate hierarchy becomes an utter nightmare. Internally, the small working groups I've encountered start weighing the making of small and big decisions equally since they began to
believe that any decision they made carried a reputational risk for them within the co context, and in the end any efficiency we had hoped to be gained, was ultimately lost.
