with Rob Jackson

 

"You can’t fix the whole system by only fixing your part."

In this episode of It's Not All About The Numbers, hosts Chris and Mike chat with finance transformation expert and zookeeper Rob Jackson. They discuss the recurring cycle of corporate transformation trends, the inefficiencies of finance processes, and whether leadership priorities are the real barrier to change. Rob shares insights from his dual experience in enterprise finance and running the Welsh Mountain Zoo, highlighting the parallels between small businesses and large corporations.

The conversation also covers Elon Musk’s recent comments on government inefficiencies, sparking debate on whether his claims bring attention to finance transformation or spread misinformation. The episode wraps up with reflections on leadership, adaptability, and the need for continuous improvement over hype-driven transformation trends.
