Great advice and all the best to Ray and his adventures.
Small startups and large businesses each have lessons to be learned from each others. As you mentioned in the article, startups need to progress beyond the initial phase with digital transformation, automation and scaling in general - all valuable experiences from larger organizations.
On the other hand, agility and other scrappy startup attributes are often “forgotten” as organizations get larger and more structured, requiring some relearning to stay competitive.
I agree, Ben. Having worked in a variety of technology companies, from startups to large enterprises, I see the constant challenge of balancing structured growth with adaptability: owners and leaders maintaining the agility of a startup mindset within a scaled, structured organization, fostering innovation while effectively managing risk. Ray's story is a reminder that each side has so much to offer the other. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
