What responsive web design means for team organisation

After working as a consultant with some very talented internal teams to redesign corporate websites using responsive techniques, I've identified a common theme over the past year: responsive web design (RWD) is a catalyst for organisational change.

I'm unsure if larger companies have structured teams based on the waterfall process, or if the linear nature of our traditional approach has impacted the way teams are organised. Regardless, for every RWD redesign project, I've always ended up making organisational structure recommendations. From what I can see, we're still stuck in an old way of organising our teams, and responsive is having its way with us.
