Michael Küsters has seen most sides of business: startup, SME, scale-up and enterprise; developer, consultant, manager and C-level executive.

His work includes TOP Structure, CARE, VXS, Heroes of Legends, and several books about Agile and organizational change. Across all of them, the recurring theme is the same: ideas are cheap, systems are messy, and bad ideas become dangerous once they acquire momentum, status and budget before reality gets a chance to object.

He takes most things with humor.

Waste and institutionalized stupidity are not on that list.
