I've been saying for years that in big corporations, not being wrong is more important than being right. Slightly different phrasing and intent, but same basic principle.
I think this is one of the things that kills many startups targeting the enterprise - unless the founders have extensive enterprise experience themselves, they simply don't understand the perverse disincentive structures that dominate corporate decision-making. Hell, I have 20 years of enterprise, and as a founder, it's still hard. For example, selling a product as a time-saver for engineers doesn't work, basically because enterprises don't care that much if they're wasting their employees' time.
