interesting - there is always an inflection point where a team gets large enough, professional enough, that more of its time is dedicated to metrics and co-ordination - and at a diseconomy of scale - there are tools that can help postpone the day, but it seems to be an immutable law.

I am reminded of a quote by JS Haldane : at a certain height a falling cat will walk away, a human will break and a horse splash.

increasing the volume / surface area ratio will result an gravity playing a bigger part in ones lives and capabilities - it's the same here. mass, size, etc of an organisation does count.
