#019 - Scott Anthony - MD Innosight - a podcast by Michael Alf

Scott is a brilliant guy. He lives in Singapore but is originally from the US. One of the most remarkable things is his contribution to the Harvard Business Review on an ongoing basis.

I met Scott at the Creative Innovation Conference in Melbourne. And based on his work, I had to ask him to be on the show. 

In our conversation, we are discussing Singapore, Innovation, Spirituality, the challenges of today's managers and more. And most importantly, Scott reveals aspects of his book on "Dual Transformation" (at the time of the interview still unpublished but now available - link see below).

Enjoy!
