A brief but striking analysis on productivity losses in big companies. "[...] when you triple the number of employees, you halve their productivity" - that's something. Based on that it's quite clear to focus on communication and the sociability of knowledge when you grow and are big already.
The 3/2 rule of employee productivityI think it is largely down to communications: the degree to which a vision is shared and the effective dissemination of new ideas ideas and working practices. Innovation velocity is dependent on collaboration; and collaboration among larger groups and creation networks require different skills and tools than what most executives are used to from smaller situations and is therefore often underestimated.
