Mohammad Mesgarpour — 'most organisations don't fail because they run out of talent, ideas, or technology. They drift.'

Mesgarpour works in product and innovation. Half way through Incorruptible, he posted on the central claim he calls uncomfortable: companies rarely run short of talent or technology, and what gets them instead is a slow accumulation of bureaucracy and short-term thinking that tilts them toward extracting value.

“I've just finished the first half of Eric Ries' latest book, 'Incorruptible', and it's one of the most thought-provoking business books I've read recently. The central idea is uncomfortable: most organisations don't fail because they run out of talent, ideas, or technology. They drift. A little more bureaucracy. A little more short-term thinking. A little more focus on extracting value than creating it.” — Mohammad Mesgarpour on LinkedIn
