I was just wondering if you could share more concrete examples of “taking up the space” risks. We’re facing some choices around this in Australia at the moment and I want to make sure we’ve considered all downsides of uniting under a shared vision. Are the risks of “taking up the space” mainly:
Less agile—multiple small organizations may be able to work faster
Centralized risk—if one organization among multiple small organizations faces an issue (e.g. brand damage) this is less likely to affect the other organizations
Less diversity of thought—there’s value in taking different approaches to problems and having multiple small organizations means were less at less risk of groupthink or quashing diversity of thought
I’d be keen to know if there are others we may not have considered.
Thank you for sharing, Abergal!
