But there's also a danger: if the only tool leadership can think of to affect how things get done is to redraw the org chart, you get management-through-reverse-Conway.

There are other ways to tell people how to behave than shifting their reporting lines, but some leaders haven't heard of them.

Yeah, completely agreed.

I actually like the strategy outlined in the OP (Absorb and Split). When this has happened, it's always lead to a much better outcome than when you start splitting and creating teams prematurely.
