Eye On A.I. · Real AI Transformation Costs HALF of Everyone's Salary for 2 Years | Chris Blackburn, Liatrio · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

We've actually been applying that same thinking and we're calling it either strangle the enterprise or strangle the organization.

We believe that because things are moving so quickly right now and how hard it is in change management for these large complex organizations to truly operate in a new way is what we try to do is strangle away a part of the organization and literally build a net new division or business or practice inside the org that has as little restriction in the old way of operating as possible.

You know, we call it like a tax free zone as an example.

The reality is, is any size organization, you will never get tax free.

But is it like low tax zone where you don't have all of the existing expectations and bureaucracy and things like that in there?

But more than anything, it's to get the people, the customers, people over to the new organization and have them have the freedom to act and operate in a new way.

So we've started to see quite a bit of success in this so far is when you just say, hey, we're building a new org over here.

And day one, the org is one person.

And what does that mean that we're going to do differently in this new and modern world?

Well, some of the first things we would do is we would have very small teams.

You know, this idea of two pizza teams historically in the past.

I don't know what a two pizza team really is, but our our customers were in that's like eight to 15 people.

That's a ton of people.

New teams in this new modern world, I believe are two or three person teams where they have autonomy, where they understand the customer, where they work really closely there.

So is this a product owner that is hands-on plus a couple of builders?

I think so in a lot of cases, right?

And so you would start with literally a three person team and then you could build up a second three person team next to them.

And then maybe you need a platform team to support it or whatever it is.

But you slowly just start pulling pieces over rather than just saying, hey, this giant group of people, you're going to start acting and operating in a new different way.

And we've seen a ton of success in this already and where it scales really quickly over there.
