The reality is that no matter how much you decide to push authority down, at some point there will be conflicting decisions and you need to resolve that. Most organizations lean escalation upwards eventually to the CEO to resolve disputes. If tech is trying to make changes that impact another major business area, and chaos needs to be avoided, then if you want to avoid executives being involved then members of that org need to be empowered to agree on those changes. However if you do that without structure it’s easy to just end up with organizational chaos as you wind up massively multiplying the communication channels that need to be pushed lower in the org. Someone needs to limit and direct the people responsible for those decisions if they’re not going to make them themselves.
