A timber-framed cottage was built in Frog Holt, England in the year 1450. Today, 575 years later, that cottage provides an important case study for business owners who are scaling their businesses upward. Douglas Squirrel is a technology leader and business scaling expert. According to Squirrel, if the army of artisans and technicians who worked on his 575-year-old cottage hadn’t come together in a spirit of cooperation, the roof would have fallen in. And the same is true of every business that is transitioning from the past to the future. It’s a fascinating episode.
