It isn't quite a 100% constraint, but you better pick your violations of Conway's law very carefully.
Usually you have to take the design of your system from the company's organization. I still haven't quite managed to pull off the "successfully convince the company to reorganize because some technical thing they want requires it". And, I mean, obviously I don't treat that as a terminal goal in and of itself. But I do sorta hope to see it at some point. (We have at least had serious conversations about variations on that theme.)
What worked for me was to point out the issue early, and keep pointing it out to the high level leads that could do something about it.
At the same time with my own smaller group just buckled down and delivered more, high visibility work.
When the complaints started coming in about the other groups I pointed out we could do more with a consolidated team and that design overhead was to blame for most of our problems.
In the end, there were a couple of folks who didn't make out well here and I feel bad about that. But the overall tone from various stakeholders seems to be a huge sigh of relief.

I'm just curious if you mean something more than 'this gets reposted here once everyone every year or two, here's all of the other threads'.
