Maybe we work in different kinds of companies. In my experience with large corporates, sure we have hierarchy in the form of an org chart, managers and job titles / levels, but management very rarely enforce outcomes or resolve day-to-day disputes.

When it comes to getting coworkers or other teams on board with a new workflow or tool, it's really completely up to powers of persuasion, providing good examples, documenting, and letting people move at their own pace. It can be frustrating to work through, but it's probably for the best, in the sense that it probably is genuinely the best tool or workflow that will win out over time, instead of the favorite of some senior person that doesn't know all the details.
