Scott D. Anthony helps leaders build long-lasting organizational agility in a constantly evolving world. Over more than two decades of growth strategy work, he has advised senior leaders at organizations ranging from Procter & Gamble to DBS Bank and the government of Singapore, and as his firm's elected managing partner he oversaw a period in which it tripled its revenues and expanded internationally.

"It's hard to set a strategic direction in the midst of uncertainty.

"Leaders should deliberately wander to find fresh insight that can help them make sense and set a course through uncertainty."
