How can you apply ideas inside a big company?

“ Here’s an idea: Go rogue. Pick something and do it under the


radar. Create something in a few weeks that normally takes a few
months. Do something in a way that works better than the status
quo (or shows the promise of working better), Then you won’t
need to convince anyone with words — the results will speak for
themselves. “
