Business Model Innovation
The Silver Lining: Scott Anthony Video Podcast
Business Innovation Factory's Chris Flanagan talks with the President of Innosight, Scott Anthony about his latest book The Silver Lining: An Innovation Playbook for Uncertain Times. (Hint: "The scarcity resulting from the current economic crisis is actually a good thing for innovation.)
Innosight is a consulting firm founded on the backbone of BIF research advisor Clayton Christensen's disruptive innovation theories and Scott co-wrote two of Clay's landmark books on the subject. In this interview, he shares some interesting insight into today's economic turmoil which he aptly dubs "the great disruption." How should you prune your innovation and business portfolio prudently? How important are strategic experiments in mitigating innovation risks? Will this tumultuous time period change or is it here to stay? Scott has decidedly upbeat things to say and the conversation wraps up with a discussion about business model innovation and what it takes to create systems-level transformation.
