I have spent my career with technology teams, either 2 guys in a closet or 40-thousand people working on multi-year, multi-billion-dollar efforts.
Something weird happens between the 2-guys scenario and the 40k version: critical information stops moving around effectively. Many times big organizations seem to exist and profit more out of a sense of inertia than strategy.
Looking at this, over the last several years I've been trying to identify why some organizations do well in how they handle information flow and how some (most) organizations don't.
There is a ton of detail here. It encompasses everything from Lean Startup to Business Modeling and Extreme Programming. (Way too much for an HN comment, sadly!) There are a few folks talking about how to think about information at the meta level, but not a lot. Happy to point folks to some free online resources. Just let me know specifically what you're looking for.
Best of luck with the book!
