His Dilbert level insights about corporate life are very old... running a business is complex and gets less efficient with size, that is no great wisdom.
Building a code project with one person is great but consider the following issues:
1) Making sure the software is built to specifications
2) What happens if he leaves?
3) What happens if another urgent project arrives
4) Who will do support?
5) Who writes documentation
6) What about integrations with other systems in the business
7) What about IT/DevOps and server maintenance?
8) What about communicating it to other people in the org?
I'm sure we can find more.
The generic use of term "Business Value" in this instance means that while development time is indeed a measure of efficiency it is only a small part the overall value that a company needs in a project.
Just to make sure I'll state again, large corporations are indeed not very efficient, I do not argue that, but they are profitable.
