I always wonder what business owners were thinking when they created the layers of complexity in their business models.  Maybe they weren’t thinking and that is why it grew so complex over time.  I look at the average Microsoft Partner today and wonder how they got so complex for a business that, on average, has revenue of only $6.5 million dollars.  Now this leads to a BIG problem when it comes to scaling and growing an organization, since clearly complexity drives cost and slows growth. Complex Models = Added Time x Added Expenses It cost more to hire people smart enough to understand...
