Pjotr Sillekens (biotech founder) — 'They drift because caring was never the mechanism. Intentions decay. Structures persist.'

Sillekens founded a biotech company. Reading Incorruptible, he takes on its argument that a company's promises hold only where they are built into structure, and applies that to his own firm's data-stewardship commitments: the test a customer can fairly apply is which of those commitments would outlast the founders who made them.

“I'm reading Incorruptible by Eric Ries. His argument is uncomfortable in a useful way: companies don't drift because people stop caring. They drift because caring was never the mechanism. Intentions decay. Structures persist. So the fair question a customer can ask us isn't whether we mean it. It's what we've committed to that would survive us even if we don't mean it.” — Pjotr Sillekens on LinkedIn
