Earlier this month I sat down with Innosight President Scott Anthony to talk about Scott's upcoming 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 our 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 our conversation wraps up with a lengthy discussion about business model innovation and what it takes to create systems-level transformation.
