The number of analogies you have in your brain is amazing. They help me understand your story in a way I like to hear so that I can tell the story to others. It works even here!
Great analogy! One problem with scaling frameworks is that the people who make the choice aren't the change catalysts, but rather the people who benefit from the status quo. SAFe is popular because most companies want to leverage the power of teams without giving them any actual empowerment. Only when a major failure occurs or the company is at real risk (or rarely, when a true visionary decision maker is placed) would they consider something like LeSS.
Imo it's more than just marketing, if you sell LeSS right, there won't be many buyers. Who wants real change?
Thanks for the stories! About a decade ago I went to a conference talk/sales pitch where the creators of SAfe used war metaphors and even played a movie clip with a violent war scene to help tell the story and sell their product. I walked away feeling ill from a ptsd trigger.

Thank you! :) I just had this idea this morning, and I wrote the same morning, after watching an interview with Edward Norton.
I just felt inspired, so I had to post.

Completely off topic but even with your update to what Fight Club is about I’ve no interest to see it. Or do scaling 😉
It's a great movie, one of the best! But it's dark and violent.
perfectly to the point!
Thank you, that's what I strive for! Less is more, as LeSS says :)
