In this episode, Shradha and Rupert are joined by Janet Sherlock, former Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Ralph Lauren and now founder and CEO of OrgWorks, to explore why clarity, structure, and leadership design are central to organizational performance in today’s complex world.

Janet brings fresh insight into the human and business cost of org confusion, backed by her research and executive experience.

They discuss:

• Why executive team structure (ELT/TMT) is often the missing link in org design
• The hidden cost of role ambiguity—and why 20% of time is lost to navigating it
• The trap of designing around people (yes, we’ve all done it!)
• Why the AI hype is leading CEOs to rush decisions without a solid foundation
• And how Drucker, structure, and storytelling still matter—perhaps now more than ever

A must-listen if you care about designing organizations with purpose, clarity, and long-term value.
