Scott Anthony

Scott D. Anthony is an internationally recognized expert and dynamic keynote speaker on topics related to navigating disruptive change. An advisor, executive, innovator, teacher, writer, and speaker, Anthony is a consummate optimist that is passionate about spreading ideas that help individual and organizations thrive in today’s world of never-ending change.

Anthony’s journey started more than two decades ago with a two-year apprenticeship under Harvard Business School legend Clayton Christensen, the father of disruptive innovation who was twice named the world’s most influential management thinker by Thinkers50.

In 2003, Anthony became part of the early leadership team at Innosight, a growth strategy consultancy co-founded by Christensen. He helped to build Innosight’s US operations before moving to Singapore in 2010, where he lived until returning to the US in 2022. While in Singapore, he served as a member of the Committee on the Future Economy, which advised the Minister of Finance, and as Board member of subsidiaries of Temasek (MediaCorp) and NTUC (LearningHub).

From 2012 to 2018 Anthony served as Innosight’s elected Managing Partner (CEO), a time where Innosight tripled its revenue. In 2017 Anthony led a $100 million sale of Innosight to Huron, a diversified consulting company. During his time at Innosight, Anthony has helped CEOs of major global organizations design new growth strategies, build innovation capabilities, and manage strategic transformation.

In 2022, he became a Professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, where he teaches the popular elective courses “Leading Disruptive Change” and “Horizon Scanning.” His research and teaching sits at the intersection of the disciplines of strategy, innovation, leadership, behavioral psychology, and systems psychodynamics.

Anthony has written eight books, including most recently "Eat, Sleep, Innovate" and "Dual Transformation," which describe how forward-thinking organizations can navigate disruptive change and own the future. His most recent Harvard Business Review article is “Persuade Your Company to Change Before It’s Too Late.” He has given keynote addresses on six continents and is Harvard Business Corporate Learning’s most in-demand external subject matter expert.

Anthony has twice been named one of the world’s 10 most influential thinkers by Thinkers50. He has been nominated for the Thinkers50 Innovation Award three times, winning the award in 2017.

Anthony received a BA in economics summa cum laude from Dartmouth College, an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School, where he was a Baker Scholar, and an Executive Master in Change from INSEAD, where he graduated with distinction.
