Tony Uphoff says, “Earlier in my career, I ran InformationWeek, the leading media brand for tech professionals working in large enterprises. We developed an editorial advisory board that included senior technology executives from some of the largest companies in the world including Dupont, General Motors, Microsoft, General Electric and Sprint.

At our very first meeting when we asked what additional coverage they’d like to see, they all said they wanted more content around start-ups and smaller companies. Frankly, we were surprised. To us this felt like 747 Pilot’s asking for information about learning to fly Cessna 172’s.

As the discussion went on, their interests made more sense. These extraordinarily accomplished executives were frustrated that their big corporations were slow, stodgy and stuck in legacy models and infrastructure. They were inspired and taking practical lessons from the agile movements of smaller businesses and applying them in their organization“.
