I am guessing that a part of what EY had in mind was that large organizations tend to lose its purposes and work towards self-preservation as much as towards the original objective. $10M/year translates into less than 100 full-time jobs, which is probably a good rule of thumb for an organization becoming too big to keep its collective eyes on the ball.
