More quotes by Scott D. Anthony
Innovation is doubly hard inside big companies.
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 sad truth is as difficult as the first mile can be for entrepreneurs, it is doubly tough inside most large companies as innovators can face some significant headwinds.
Scott D. Anthony
I find social media as fun and engaging as the next person, but imagine if all the creative talent that was pouring into finding increasingly clever ways for us to broadcast daily banality (and then serve ads based on what is learned) instead focused on some of the UN Millennium goals? The world would be a better place.
Scott D. Anthony
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
People who copy what exists copy a point-in-time artifact, and if you are managing the process correctly you are already hard at work on the next thing.

We've got some great big problems in our world. We have to figure out how to feed 10 billion people. Too many people can't access clean water, quality healthcare, and reasonable education. We have to figure out what to do about climate change, income inequality, and more. Innovators need to rise to the challenge!

Companies get into grooves and they keep sharpening what they are doing, when in fact what they really need to do sometimes is to stop and do something completely differently.
Scott D. Anthony
I think people make innovation much more complicated than it needs to be.
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
The most important thing here is to largely ignore what customers say, and instead watch what they do or track where they spend money.
Scott D. Anthony
Small teams move faster than big teams.
Scott D. Anthony
There's a general belief that failure is the friend of the innovator, but I've come to view it a different way.
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
It's very easy to skip steps when documenting an idea.

Good innovators like to solve business crossword puzzles.

Mucken Singh works VERY hard on his brawler's physique!

Now, I worry a bit about the TEDification of the world where style trumps substance, so hopefully you have a good blend of both!
