This hits on the big barrier to human collaboration in firms: Role separation that has little to do with company goals. We see a small microcosm of this in software development. Big, lumbering software firms that spent millions of dollars getting very little done end up with teams that have separate DBAs, frontend programmers, backend progrmmers, testers, business analysts, project managers, software architects, build specialists... Lots of jobs, lots of people, and none of them really has value to the company in their mind. In comparison, a small company replaces that entire army with two people, and delivers cheaply and quickly. Only through shared goals we ever get anything complicated done. This is what agile, lean and devOps are really about. Most of the rest is overperscriptive marketing. Focus more on building the right product, than in building the product right.
