Most strategies don't fail because they're wrong. They fail because organizations can't execute them.

In this episode, Mike Jasper sits down with Extropy Project Manager Cecile Brown-Smith to unpack the systematic forces behind that gap. They explore why entropy quietly erodes even the best-laid plans, how ambiguity stalls teams and kills momentum, and why the people closest to the work are often left out of the rooms where decisions get made.

From tribal knowledge to missing legal sign-off, the execution gap is rarely dramatic. It's dozens of small breakdowns that pile up until the project is already off course.

Tune in for a practical conversation on what it actually takes to convert strategic intent into daily behavior, and why structure, clarity, and the right people in the room make all the difference.

Growth is supposed to be a good thing, so why does it make everything harder?

In this episode, Kevin Zirkle and Mike Jasper unpack the tension between speed and structure, and why scaling faster than your systems can support is one of the fastest paths to corporate entropy.

They break down what "scaling before stabilizing" really looks like, why speed is a multiplier for both good and bad, and what it actually takes to design for sustainable velocity.

If your organization is growing but things feel increasingly chaotic, this one is for you.

Most SAP Cloud ERP migrations treat Accounts Payable as an afterthought. That's a mistake that costs organizations years of lost value, compliance fines, and a core that's anything but clean.

In this episode of Extropy On AIr, host Ravit Gutman sits down with Jason Kurtz, CEO of Basware, to break down why the calls you make about AP during your migration window will shape how your finance function performs for the next decade.

They get into the real reasons nearly 60% of SAP migrations run over budget or behind schedule, why a specialist AP layer actually protects your clean core instead of adding complexity, how Basware's AI is built on 2.5 billion processed invoices and what that means for touchless processing, what compliance-as-a-service looks like when over 100 global mandates are actively shifting, and why "we'll deal with AP later" is the phrase finance leaders come to regret most.

If you're a CFO, CIO, Controller, or transformation lead anywhere near an SAP program right now, this one is worth your full attention.
