I&#x27;m skeptical of the ability of big, old companies to change their internal cultures enough to become nimble and responsive.<p>Old companies have calcified political structures and old managers that have enough political capital to detonate any change that threatens their fiefdoms.<p>Software&#x2F;Services businesses are not slow and comfortable with huge moats that just appear.  You can&#x27;t afford to be slow and bureaucratic.  You have to be constantly changing, reorganizing, and employees have to be comfortable living&#x2F;working in a zone of continuous chaos ... where you aren&#x27;t exactly sure what the next step is ... but you are experimenting to find out--and internal groups are always rising and falling ... and managers are always rising and falling.
