Scott D. Anthony: Leading disruptive change

What does disruptive innovation really mean?

It’s a term that’s widely misunderstood. But leading people using disruptive change can reinvent your organisation.

In this episode I am joined by prolific author, advisor and teacher Scott D. Anthony. We talk about what it takes to search out weak signals of change and how to wonder intentionally as you do. We also talk about how to experiment by testing growth hypotheses.

Scott explains how to trust your leadership judgment when making difficult and complex decisions when restructuring an organisation. He also guides us through disruptive innovation, including ecosystems, and harnessing the full potential of AI.

You’ll hear about:
