This is absolute gold but we need a simple and compelling story that can be told before it will inform the masses. Agile tried but seemed to miss the point of Conway's Law that organizational structure or communication paths influence the design. Agile was trying to change or work around that fact.
Companies like Oracle are cargo-culting by building cloud platforms that resemble AWS but they have no appreciation that Amazon changed their internal communication practices resulting in AWS! Oracle isn't going to do that, perhaps they can't. Has Microsoft adapted their communication structure and is it reflected in their cloud platform?
What I find interesting is that cloud service adoption is allowing silos inside companies to avoid the structures that impede them--to some extent.
