In this brief dialogue, Speaker A asks how lessons from large corporations can be transferred to the world of founders and startups. Speaker B responds that big companies excel at teaching process, structure, and strategy, but they do not teach entrepreneurship.

Nonetheless, the value they can bring lies in introducing disciplined processes, organizational structure, and strategic planning to the fledgling business.

You know, maybe, you know, where I'd like to start is, you know, on that idea of like what you've learned from the big guys, right? And like how that applies, you know, what lessons can be gleaned?

They teach you structure. They, you know, but they don't teach you how to be an entrepreneur. I learned process, I learned structure, I learned strategy, and I landed in this world of founders and startups. And it's hard because when you're working for a small business, they don't have a lot of money and they don't have a lot of structure. So, when you bring a corporate guy into that world, some of us will fail miserably, quite frankly, because it's all about bringing revenue in the door. But what I think they can learn is how to put structure and process and strategy in place. Yeah.
