I really liked the idea of componentization and the benefits it offers organizations. It is true that the sum of parts is greater than the whole. However, I feel it could really add value to an organization only if the benefits of componentization are much more than its costs. Componentization has direct and indirect costs- more resources, the ability to allocate resources to a component, ensuring that there is no lap between componenets and substitubality of components both within and outside the organization should be considered. Also synchronizing each components activities with those across Business Competencies could be challenging as a component may posses functionalities that meet the needs of other business competencies apart from the one it serves.
