Yesterday I read
the following article from 1993 called "Dinosaurs" which basically versed about how (and why) large companies fail
"The normal and ruinous problems of success, so it is contended, are complacency and size."
Then I remembered reading the following in an expert call from an
$INTU former employee
They basically talk about how Intuit is so good at executing and moving fast.
Of course,
$INTU is a pretty large company, so how are they able to pivot so fast?
The expert then shared that the key was in the infrastructure.
$INTU made a decision some years ago to tailor its infrastructure to an agile organization, and that's paying off now.
When looking at a large organization, flexibility and awareness of rising competition is key. Disruptors tend to move faster and can end up eroding strong moats, specially in tech.
No large company wants to be the next Sears, but many will eventually end up that way.
