The Speed Trap: How Growth Without Structure Accelerates Decay
from Extropy on AIR: Finance Transformation, AP Automation & AI in Finance · host Extropy Advisors
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.
