In this preview episode, Ravit Gutman and Mike Jasper introduce the Extropy Think Tank, a members-only community built for finance transformation practitioners who are tired of vendor pitches and ready for real conversation. No software providers. No marketing fluff. Just honest peer dialogue about what's actually working (and what isn't) as organizations navigate AI adoption, process automation, and the human side of change.

Topics are driven by the community, conversations stay in the room, and the goal is simple: connect the people who are living these challenges so they can learn from each other.

Stay tuned for more exciting news from Extropy!

Before the official launch, Ravit Gutman and Mike Jasper sit down to pull back the curtain on the Extropy Think Tank, what it is, why Extropy is the right place to host it, and what finance leaders can expect.

This isn't another product demo or vendor pitch. It's an honest, people-first space for finance transformation conversations that actually matter.

Most enterprises believe digital transformation is a technology problem. They're wrong, and it's costing them millions.

In this episode of Extropy on AIr, Kevin Zirkle sits down with Mike Jasper, Vice President at Extropy Advisors, to dismantle one of the most expensive myths in business today: that buying better platforms leads to better outcomes.

They dig into why organizations invest heavily in automation, AI, and analytics — and still end up with teams working overtime, shadow processes, and dashboards full of green lights that mask real dysfunction. Sound familiar?

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why technology is the amplifier, not the driver, and what happens when what you're amplifying lacks coherence
• The concept of "visible progress with invisible stagnation" and how executive reporting can reinforce the illusion
• The three most common failure patterns in digital transformation (including "fragmentation through success" — where every team wins but the company loses)
• Why the Structure → System → Technology sequence matters, and what goes wrong when organizations invert it
• Four concrete actions leaders can take right now if their transformation feels harder than it should

Building on earlier episodes, Kevin and Mike connect the dots between corporate entropy, the concept of extropy, and the deliberate design of organizational coherence — the real center of any lasting transformation.

Next episode: How entropy shows up inside finance operating models: AP, AR, procurement, and treasury. Where it hides, how it manifests, and how to start diagnosing it.
