Sick of watching your teams drown in chaos while you juggle priorities like flaming swords—blindfolded? This episode is your antidote to the madness.

JP dives into the messy world of prioritisation with guests who don’t just talk theory—they’ve led through the fire. We're talking real stories, hard truths, and practical insights on why most organisations get prioritisation wrong.

You’ll hear how lack of trust torpedoes collaboration, how vague priorities kill motivation, and why measuring capacity and value isn’t optional—it’s survival. Forget buzzwords. This is about building a culture that faces reality and keeps moving forward.

No sugar-coating. No bullsh*t. Just the raw conversation your team wishes they’d had in the last quarter.

Joining JP as always is Neil Finnie as well as Georgina Owens – A member of the house of Rebel who was Top UK CIO 100 in 2019 and 2020, she was named UK Top 50 Most Influential Women in Tech 2020 and 2021, and is a customer obsessed leader and transformation expert, she’s on the front line everyday, getting sh*t done.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Many organisations struggle with prioritisation due to a lack of clear authority.
• Human nature often leads to a reluctance to say no, complicating prioritisation.
• Trust and collaboration are essential for effective decision-making.
• Visibility and transparency in work management can prevent chaos.
• Measuring capacity and value is key to successful prioritisation.

Tired of getting fluffy, feel-good advice on measuring transformation while your organisation burns through budget faster than a teenager with a credit card? You’re in the right place; this very first Rebel Perspective episode cuts through the corporate measurement theatre that's plaguing businesses everywhere.

Here's the brutal truth: measurement isn't just some nice-to-have dashboard you glance at during quarterly reviews. It's the difference between transformation success and becoming another cautionary tale whispered about in boardrooms.

In this no-bulls**t conversation, host Jonathan Potter (JP to anyone who doesn't want to sound like they're in the headmasters office) sits down with two battle-tested transformation veterans who've seen it all:

Neil Finnie - Three decades of helping organisations scale through transformations so complex they'd make a Rubik's cube weep. If there's a transformation disaster waiting to happen, Neil's probably already prevented it twice.

Dr Christoph Burtscher - Nearly 30 years driving change at major players like Deutsche Bank, Avis, Yodel, and Late Rooms. Currently pursuing his second PhD (because apparently one wasn't masochistic enough) with a third book dropping soon. This guy doesn't just study change—he lives it.

What you'll discover:

• Why most transformations crash and burn harder than a reality TV show
• What businesses can steal from the sports world (spoiler: it's not just the protein shakes)
• The one thing you can do right now to stop your transformation from becoming an expensive clusterf**k
