#standards

Every revolution rewrites the rules of innovation. Today, in the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, we're still stuck with centralised control. Centralised control keeps decisions, resources, and standards concentrated at the top, leaving teams dependent on permission rather than contribution. In contrast, decentralised innovation frees teams from rigid hierarchies, allowing them to solve problems together. At its best, it aligns people through shared purpose rather than imposed rules. It sounds euphoric, but too often it proves to be wishful thinking.
