lightning talk – Andy Brandt
summary
Argues corporations are inherently dysfunctional: built for repeatable industrial-scale output, they reward disengaged shareholders and disinterested workers and therefore abhor innovation. Claims many transformations are surface fixes—scrum becomes cargo cult and SAFE is sold as snake oil—rather than real change. Points to a countertrend: a surge of startups (example: 3,000 startups in a 300k city) and young firms like Google and Spotify designed different from day one. Conclusion: stop trying to fix corp structures; found or join startups instead.
