Very timely post for me - as this is exactly what I'm trying to achieve at my own place :P I've forwarded it to several people to help bolster my argument, so thanks!
Glad you found it useful! I highly recommend the Teams Topologies book cited in the article. Its a bit dry at first, but the solution leverages everything you learn in the earlier chapters in a jujitsu-like "use the enemy's power against itself" way. (Hope that makes sense)
