Tony chats with Sridhar Ravilla, Author of "Transformation that Lands". After 21 years in IT leadership at AT&T, Sridhar took some time off to reflect on everything he had seen. What made sense? What didn't make sense? Took some time to try to see the forest for the trees and understand the patters of projects that succeed, and crucially projects that don't succeed. A fascinating conversation for anyone involved with innovation, implementation, change management, operations, and more.
