"What connects gunpowder, the printing press, Pampers, and iPhones? Scott Anthony's engaging new book reveals powerful lessons for today's business leaders from these world-reshaping disruptions." — Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School; author, Fearless Organization
From gunpowder to generative AI, the forces of disruption are repeatedly rewriting the rules of business, society, and human possibility. But what drives these revolutionary changes?
In his new book, Epic Disruptions, innovation expert Scott D. Anthony explores pivotal innovations that have transformed industries, societies, and everyday life. The printing press. Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The transistor. Big Macs. The iPhone. Anthony traces the stories behind these and other powerful disruptions that rewrote the rules of business and human potential.
On September 25, he will join us to discuss how disruption really happens and why those who can spot its signals are best positioned to thrive in uncertain times. While the historical stories in Epic Disruptions are timeless, today’s moment gives a fierce urgency to understanding the patterns of disruptive change.
