I think it is only in hindsight that you can determine whether something is a mistake or not.

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!

Scott D. Anthony
A next-generation innovation writer and thought leader worth watching.

In my mind, so-called cultures of innovation really boil down to one word: curiosity.
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
You have to make the decision about whether you want to avoid or you want to overcome the resistance.
Scott D. Anthony
I think the most important thing to do is to recognize the fundamentally different circumstances of pursuing growth.

Hollywood Joohn Tatum? He does at least 6,000 sit ups and 10,000 pushups a day!
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.
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
Of course, it is worth it to take the time to think carefully through your assumptions, and ensure you at least have hypotheses around how you will create value. But use the analysis as a way to focus attention on the most critical assumptions, rather than spend a ton of time massaging the numbers.
Scott D. Anthony
You can increase the odds of spotting the weak points in your approach if you really think about the end-to-end business model you plan to follow - how you plan to create, capture, and deliver value.
Scott D. Anthony
Good innovators are careful observers, network extensively, run experiments, ask lots of questions, and find ways to bring diverse ideas together. Overarching all of this is an intrinsic interest in working through puzzles.
