The diamond-shaped org insight is spot-on. Most GCCs are still running with the old pyramid playbook while AI is gutting the base faster than anyone wants to admit. The platoon structure idea of 30-40 engineers per leader sounds wild but makes sense when you factor in agentic tools doing the coordination work. Hardest part isn't tech though its the cultrual shift of keeping devs as devs for 20+ years when the entire ecosystem rewards management transitions.

Yes totally agree. Culture change is the hardest change to manage.
