This is the "reverse Conway's law" that some others are referring to, and I alluded to. I've had success doing it in small places here and there. I'm yet to convince a management organization to do a really large-scale reorg because of some major pathology, though. Though I haven't tried often, either. Really just once. The costs are automatically so high for such a proposal that it is difficult for mere engineering needs to get to net-positive because it's hard to prove the benefits.
