Thanks for the comments. I should have made a better distinction between actual and codified process. My thoughts were toward codified, which, as you state, are endemic in larger organizations, and seem to build on themselves over the years, good and bad, until less and less actual progress toward the ultimate goals of the organization is accomplished. Process is delivered, rather than products... Although I did not agree with everything in the Netflix deck, I was impressed by the "bias" toward great people rather than great process, which seems to me, to be a fresh take on it. There will always be necessary processes and there are certainly many great process best practices to draw from, but I do think we should all be CONSTANTLY QUESTIONING what is in place, asking ourselves if it is serving us or we serving it, and making changes as needed. It is my experience that this happens rarely in large organizations. There simply isn't the political will to take it on...
