I've come to the conclusion that the core characteristic that separates companies that get innovation from those that don't is a simple word: curiosity.
Scott D. Anthony
Of course if you are launching a new business you can thinking about revenues, profits, and so on, but metrics such as customer satisfaction or employee retention might be meaningful if you are focusing more internally.
Scott D. Anthony
All disruptive innovators make it easier and more affordable for people to do what matters to them, and follow a strategy that doesn't at first glance make sense to the market leader.
Scott D. Anthony
The need to be thoughtful about experiment design is particularly acute within large companies, since some of the behaviors, such as having small teams and tapping into low-cost resources to maximize flexibility, won't come naturally to many people inside huge companies.

Have a core concept, but wrap it in a full business model.

Scott D. Anthony
It's very easy to skip steps when documenting an idea.
Scott D. Anthony
Make sure that you take the time to think about how other companies might respond to your idea, both those companies already in the market you plan to target as well as others that might imagine targeting that market.
Scott D. Anthony
You have to make the decision about whether you want to avoid or you want to overcome the resistance.
Scott D. Anthony
Teams working on disruptive ideas need to be small enough that they can be fed by no more than two pizzas.
Scott D. Anthony
Three of our core corporate values are inclusiveness, collaboration, and humility.
Scott D. Anthony
Small teams move faster than big teams.
Scott D. Anthony
Any leader has two jobs to do. To do what they are currently doing better and more efficiently (call this strengthening the core), and to do what they are not currently doing but will need to do in the future (call this creating the new).
Scott D. Anthony
It's one of the underappreciated skills required by an innovator - they have to be able to convince lots of people to do things that might not be fully rational (invest in the company, join something that is likely to fail, try a product they've never seen before), and if you can't tell a good story it is just very hard to make that happen.
Scott D. Anthony
There is what Steve Blank calls the stage where you are searching for a scalable business model. Then, there is the stage when you have found that model and need to scale it. In the former stage you have to have a beginner's mind, be in learning mode, and expect to learn things you didn't anticipate.
Scott D. Anthony
