DESCRIPTION
James Lewis and Gregor Hohpe discuss the concept of dimensionality in decision-making, particularly in the context of innovation versus standardization. Hohpe emphasizes the importance of understanding and removing constraints to unlock new opportunities, citing historical shifts in technology and platform thinking as key examples.

They explore how traditional one-dimensional views often limit progress and the challenges of adapting to new paradigms, especially in organizations. The discussion also touches on the role of architects in facilitating these shifts and the strategic focus needed for internal platforms to thrive in the face of evolving technologies.
