  "note": "Wow, this is a great thought piece with some incredibly valuable organizational principles.\r\n\r\n> The coordination headwind is inexorable. It increases super-linearly as: \r\n> 1. Uncertainty increases \r\n> 2. Project teams get larger and more spread out \r\n> 3. A more bottoms up culture \r\n\r\nThere is a lot to take away from this:\r\n\r\n- The spectrum of bottom-up and top-down is a reasonable way to think of most orgs (slide 18)\r\n- The whole thing on agent-based models to look at how work changes with scale is brilliant (slide 32)\r\n- The mediator cost and the exponential increase with levels is very true (slide 98)\r\n- I love the \"roof shot\" versus \"moon shot\". Perfect way to think about agile iterations but in many parts of an organization (slide 154), and then parallelizing them (slide 164). \r\n- The point of having a well crafted strategy for that parallel approach is key (slide 165)\r\n\r\nAlso, I 🤯 how this deck is ✏️ with emojis as the 💁! 👏👏👏",
