Well, as has been noted, one mechanism that's been proven to work well is to avoid complexity and seek simplicity. Unfortunately: (1) Most of the IT world is addicted to complexity. We love to build ever-bigger toys. (1)(a) Case in point: Most of these so-called "cloud" solutions add large amounts of highly-coupled, low-cohesion moving parts. (2) Large orgs are by definition complex, and they don't seem keen on the idea of committing suicide for the greater good.
