@theregnarute Or IBM ... pretty much been decades since they turned out anything that could genuinely be called 'innovative'.

@kenbrown2808 That's funny; wondering if you're a generation-ish older than I am? 'Was this designed by Microsoft?' is my standard goto for this.

Process is about balance. Leave the engineers / researchers 100% in charge, and they'll bankrupt the company -- sadly, somebody actually has to sell product in order to keep funding the R&D ... Leave it to accountants / professional managers, and they'll kneecap R&D to pad their bonuses -- might serve short-term interests, but massively increases long-term risk.

@kenbrown2808 Ah, didn't mean that in an ageist way ... Just ... successful companies always seem to turn this way in their terminal phase ... Apple, e.g., hasn't done anything other than incremental improvements recently (with the possibly exception of those goofy VR glasses).

Hot take: One of these decades, there will be some actual evidence-based science behind management ... instead of meathead bros would couldn't handle studying a real discipline so daddy bought 'em an MBA and now they ceaselessly talk about MBO or KPI or OKR (depending on which decade they went to business school).
