No ground breaking work ever came from following templates or industry best practices. If you really want to start a revolutionary business, you would have to minimise templates and following due process, both have become a substitute for thinking.
When hit with a fresh situation at work, do we sit down and try to creatively solve it or do we scurry around looking for the due process as laid down in 1962?
For your start up to move quickly, you have to be extra careful with hiring people who are a walking library of due processes, templates and best practices.
If you really want to do something that matters, you will not readily find a template for it.
