Make like a start up
        @leisa
bigger is not better
   big is dumb
  our challenge is to design ways to not let
scale kill intelligence, creativity and passion.
A start-up is formed. Once a new product
has been decided on, a team is organized
and segregated from the rest of the
company by secrecy agreements and
sometimes physical barriers. Sections of the
building may be locked or cordoned off to
make room for the teams working on a
sensitive new project. This effectively creates
a ‘start-up’ inside the company that is only
responsible to the executive team, freeing
them from the reporting structure of a big
company.

get out of silos
 small multidisciplinary teams ftw
make hypotheses
not requirements
   let designers design
measure
  actionable metrics
failure is B.A.U.*
  don’t celebrate it, don’t vilify it
   incorporate it in your plans



    *BAU - business as usual
stay humble
keep asking questions
    if you don’t cannibalise products
             a start up will
redesign your
  organisation -
