It's like a tautology: "In logic, a tautology is a formula or assertion that is true in every possible interpretation."
It's also obviously true. The organization builds the architecture. The architecture either helps or hinders the organization. The organization builds a new architecture. There's no indirect connection here. If you've seen hierarchical organizations implement microservices, it's because that organization's complement was a microservices architecture. And likewise for a chaotic organization.
--well, sidetrack: Aren't strongly hierarchical organizations the best suited for microservices? With all the strongly divided responsibilities and whatnot?
