I'm skeptical of the ability of big, old companies to change their internal cultures enough to become nimble and responsive. Old companies have calcified political structures and old managers that have enough political capital to detonate any change that threatens their fiefdoms. Software/Services businesses are not slow and comfortable with huge moats that just appear. You can't afford to be slow and bureaucratic. You have to be constantly changing, reorganizing, and employees have to be comfortable living/working in a zone of continuous chaos ... where you aren't exactly sure what the next step is ... but you are experimenting to find out--and internal groups are always rising and falling ... and managers are always rising and falling.
