Founder
Vivek Srivastava
Founder & Chief Enterprise Strategist
Background
Enterprise transformation leader, AI strategist, and trusted advisor with more than two decades of experience delivering complex technology and digital transformation programs for global banking and financial institutions. Through KnownShift, Vivek helps enterprise leaders bridge strategy, execution, and artificial intelligence to build future-ready organizations.
Over two decades, that work meant sitting on the sponsor side of steering committees, rebuilding PMOs that had lost executive credibility, and more recently, helping delivery organizations figure out where AI genuinely changes how enterprise programs get run, and where it doesn’t. Every framework, template, and piece of advice built into KnownShift comes from that seat, not from a research desk.
Leadership Philosophy
Rigor Over Rhetoric
Every recommendation is tested against real delivery constraints, not written from a slide template.
Accountability By Design
Governance should create clarity and ownership, never bureaucracy for its own sake.
Partnership, Not Dependency
The goal is to leave organizations more capable, not more reliant on outside help.
Judgment Over Automation
AI is a capability to adopt deliberately, never a substitute for sound delivery judgment.
Why KnownShift
Advisory work has a ceiling: it scales one engagement at a time. After years of rebuilding the same PMOs, redesigning the same governance models, and coaching the same judgment calls across different organizations, the frameworks started repeating, not because the organizations were the same, but because the underlying delivery problems were. KnownShift exists to package that repeatable judgment into operating systems, playbooks, and tools that a team can install directly, instead of waiting for an advisor to rebuild it from scratch every time.
Work Directly With Vivek
Executive coaching, corporate assessments, and enterprise engagements are led personally, not handed off to a delivery team you’ve never met.
