who

Laurence Chen | Platform Architecture & Organizational Design Consultant

I help enterprises realign technology with business by designing clear platform boundaries and operating models, enabling technology to support growth rather than becoming a source of friction.

My work focuses on identifying capabilities that are repeatedly built across teams—and intentionally elevating them into stable, shared platforms. I specialize in the planning and implementation of three core organizational platforms: Data, Workflow, and Auth.

As systems grow, many organizations experience rising maintenance costs and slowing R&D speed. The root cause is often not technical complexity itself, but unclear responsibility boundaries and a lack of strategic division of labor across teams.

Drawing on Team Topologies principles, I help enterprises:

Define Platform Boundaries and Responsibilities: Clarify which capabilities should remain close to business execution, and which should be centralized as shared platforms with clear ownership and interfaces.

Design Platform Operating Models: Establish how platform teams evaluate priorities, provide self-service capabilities, and evolve sustainably without becoming approval bottlenecks.

Reduce Organizational Cognitive Load: Through deliberate separation of what from how, I enable business-facing teams to focus on delivering business value, while platforms provide stable, reusable foundations for the organization.
