Summary
Disruption expert Scott Anthony explains why innovation alone isn’t enough—and why the real work of disruption is making things simpler, cheaper, and more accessible. Drawing on decades of research and stories from companies like Procter & Gamble and Apple, he breaks down why success so often becomes the enemy of reinvention.
We also explore ideas from his new book, Epic Disruptions, including why disruption is a team sport, why data often arrives too late, and how leaders can cultivate “optimistic paranoia” to survive—and thrive—through change.
