Sridhar Ravilla is a fractional transformation executive and author with more than 25 years of senior leadership experience at AT&T and Tech Mahindra, where he led enterprise-scale programmes spanning cloud, AI, and digital modernisation. He joins John Golden to diagnose a pattern he has seen across industries: well-funded, well-led transformations that collapse not at the strategy stage, but in the moments right after strategy is approved.
In this episode, Sridhar and John cover:
- Why accountability diffuses into committees and dashboards the moment a transformation moves from planning to execution
- How green dashboards hide unresolved trade-offs and what leaders should be asking instead
- The deferral committee trap — and why “let’s get more data” is a risk-relocation strategy in disguise
- Why AI delivers 270 degrees of visibility and what fills the critical remaining 90 degrees
- The resignation test: the single question every large-scale transformation needs to answer before launch
- How to structure named ownership so that the right person — not the AI, not the committee — carries the outcome
If accountability in transformation is something you wrestle with, Sridhar’s frameworks are immediately applicable. Connect with him directly at linkedin.com/in/sridharravilla/.
