Actually I wasn't that impressed. I found it hard to focus on the text - there's a lot of government speak (like "ways of working") in there. Also, the author has a fixation on Conway's Law ("Conway" appears 40 times in the document), and everything else is really a spin on Wardley's evolution curve. Both are useful, to be sure, but there's nothing inherently profound or new here. This is (should, maybe?) be targeted at CxOs of big corps, and I think has some value there - if only it were more pithy (which is not the English way). There is also some irony in that they're saying "do away with big planning upfront" in the same document as "be big-data-driven". Big data needs big planning up front if it's going to be meaningful.
