Standardization: How we've been thinking about it wrong

With the trend towards distributed and digitally-enabled orgs, teams are gaining autonomy to choose the tools and rituals that empower them. With freedom comes a loss of context between teams, pushing company's to respond with a misleadingly idyllic solution: standardizing on a single tool.
