Are there any examples of large organizations that don't have this problem? I can imagine places with small teams that are basically isolated that can operate efficiently, but once you scale to point where dozens to hundreds of teams needing to cooperate, it seems like all you have is tradeoffs and fundamental coordination and scaling issues. I've never heard of a big org that didn't have some flavor of disfunction resulting from that kind of complexity. Some places seem to be "less-bad" but that doesn't mean good or efficient.
