The Unfair Advantage Small Companies Have…...

Intro

TL;DR — They move fast. They know each other's work progress. They survive by being excellent.

The more people you throw into a team, the slower it becomes. Small teams for each project work very well. In big teams, keeping everyone in sync is hard.

I remember when I went to my job at a corporation with a huge open space. The people I talked to were the ones near my office, but I had no idea what the names of the people on the other half of the open space were.

A big company needs huge amounts of money to operate (salaries, offices, auxiliary personnel, etc.).

If a big company has a contract with another big company, they will follow the given processes letter by letter with ZERO INNOVATION. They fear automating some processes because that would mean getting less work, thus less money.

I got lucky to be in a big company and get in touch with some managers who saw potential in automating business processes, and we got some cool stuff up and running. But I encountered A LOT OF RESISTANCE from other coworkers and managers (it was not easy). People don't know how much things can be automated, or they fear their job will be replaced.

In a small company, this is not the case. In order to survive, a small company needs to do the same thing better with a much smaller team. Innovation needs to happen in order to keep the contract ongoing.

What big companies don't realize is that the contract will be renegotiated at some point, and if they don't come up with a better price than other competing companies, they will lose the contract. That's exactly what happened to the big company I worked for — they didn't innovate for 10 years, and the contract was moved to India to reduce costs, leaving 300+ people looking for work.

Big companies don't automate to survive; small companies automate to survive.
