Digital transformations rarely fail because of bad technology.

They fail because the organization underneath the technology starts to break down.

In this episode of Extropy on Air, Kevin Zirkle and Mike Jasper unpack the hidden cost of organizational entropy. The slow, cumulative drift toward complexity, fragmentation, and disorder that quietly undermines even the most well funded transformation efforts.

They explore:

• Why “we’re live, but it doesn’t feel like we’re live” is a red flag
• How unmanaged complexity and turnover erode trust and adoption
• The warning signs leaders often miss until it’s too late
• Why stacking tools increases entropy instead of reducing it
• What it actually takes to design for sustained success after go live

If you’re a CFO, transformation leader, or executive navigating digital change, this conversation offers a clear lens for diagnosing issues early and designing systems that scale with intention, not chaos.

Digital transformation works when people are brought along, not pushed through.

In this episode of Extropy On Air, Extropy's Director of Digital Transformation and Client Success, Mike Jasper, and Project Manager Maira Correia share how clear communication, strong project structure, and hands-on support help teams navigate financial transformation with confidence.

From kickoff to go-live, this conversation shows what it looks like to lead change in a way that works for the people doing the work.

Many finance teams believe their ERP system is “automation.”

In reality, it often just digitizes manual work.

In this episode of Extropy on Air, Kevin Zirkle sits down with Kevin Farrell, BD&A Special Projects at Basware, to break down why ERP-centric thinking holds AP teams back and how intelligent invoice lifecycle management changes the equation.

You’ll learn:

• Why ERP systems manage transactions but don’t automate workflows
• The hidden cost of manual AP processes, late payments, and approval bottlenecks
• How organizations achieve 80%+ touchless invoice rates without re-engineering their ERP
• Real examples of recovered value, faster cycle times, and improved control
• Why successful automation requires both the right platform and the right partner

If your AP team is still chasing approvals or fixing preventable errors, this episode offers a clear path forward.
