Why durable organizations grow by removing complexity—not endlessly adding to it
Most organizations scale through addition. More tools. More process. More teams. More coordination.
Each addition solves a problem. At least initially.
A new reporting process improves visibility. A new team absorbs growing demand. A new tool addresses a capability gap. The outcome appears positive. The system expands.
Very few additions are ever removed.
