In this episode, our host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with returning guest John Hetherington—consultant, systems thinker, and trusted advisor to finance leaders navigating complexity in the AI era. John’s mission? Help financial teams in mid-sized companies (100–500 employees, $50–100M revenue) close their month-end books twice as fast through systems thinking, automation, and a clear-eyed approach to change management.They explore why chaos can’t scale—but systems can—and how finance teams can avoid burnout by building smarter processes. John shares his “Absorb, Assemble, Align” model for introducing AI responsibly and emphasizes the need to clarify how teams will use the time saved by automation. They also tackle the human side of transformation, including the 20/60/20 rule of change management and the importance of securing buy-in from the people doing the work. The conversation highlights how process improvement—not shiny new tech—is often the most impactful kind of innovation. John also introduces his RAPID framework as a practical blueprint for sustainable change, and he and Tyler discuss how to align automation efforts with brand, culture, and trust.If your board is asking “what’s our AI strategy?” or your finance team is drowning in spreadsheets, this episode will help you zoom out, clarify your goals, and implement change that actually sticks.This episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.
