“I have a secret product managers, like a meetup group that I do for one of the big tech companies where we get together. It's secret. I can't name the group... Because they work in a company that has a real strong, non-invented here culture, and lean startup is forbidden. So they, if they talk about minimum viable product or pivots, like inside the company, it's just like, ah, do not want to hear about it. So what they have figured out is like, they have to create a company specific vocabulary version of it.”

Ries: Corporate bureaucracy and slowness at scale are choices, not inevitable
“I have become a believer that even that the bureau, that the bureaucracy and slowness and kind of ossification that we take for granted as a result of scale is not an inevitable development, but it's a choice about the systems of management that we use.”
Ries: Enterprise CEOs cannot name anyone accountable for continuous innovation
“I ask these CEOs that I meet with all the time, who's in charge of making sure that that happens? And they don't know. There's not, there's nobody in the organization they can point to for accountability on that score.”
Ries: Entrepreneurship is defined by extreme uncertainty, not job title
“Since my definition of entrepreneurship is trying to create something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty, then you are an entrepreneur no matter what it says on your business card.”
Ries: Corporate entrepreneurs are as visionary as Silicon Valley founders
“There are real honest to God entrepreneurs just as visionary, just as exciting to work with inside some of these large organizations as you walk down the street here in Silicon Valley.”
Ries: Most corporations planning internal startups lack an actual execution plan
“The idea that you're going to act like a startup or have internal startups is like almost to the point of cliche here. And yet most of the companies that I meet that have that as a plan, there's no plan. They don't actually know how to make it happen.”
Ries: Large corporations make terrible partners for startups
“Most big companies are terrible partners. They don't understand how to pilot things. They don't understand how to work with startups in a way that don't kill them. They spend way too much time on contract negotiations, and they just, they're unreliable.”
