Option A- you task some employees with buying office furniture and equipment and then waste everyone's time by having some extra meetings and emails and bureaucracy where someone asks "is that a good price for 50 desks? Did you get multiple quotes?" and the employee says "yes" and then they approve the expense.
Option B- the same employees make the same decisions, but without the extra meetings and emails and paperwork.
Being more efficient, giving employees more autonomy and focusing on what actually matters is why startups displace incumbents. These are good things.
