I thought point 2 addressed engagement well. If you can get behind the purpose of the whole company, then understanding why your particular cog is important to the machine will help keep you engaged.
My spouse and I do this occasionally, where we pick a business off the street that we're walking by and think about how they make money.
I think it can work for a small business where you can hold the whole thing in your head. It's _much_ harder when you're thinking about a multi-thousand-person enterprise with a dozen product lines.
