Eat Sleep Innovate
Why is innovation so natural when we’re kids — and so unnatural inside large organizations? That’s the central question Scott Anthony set out to answer in Eat Sleep Innovate. Scott breaks down what an innovation culture actually is, why habits matter more than beliefs, and how companies like DBS Bank and Singtel have built cultures where curious, collaborative behavior happens naturally.

What We Cover
- Edgar Schein’s three levels of culture — and why the waterline is where change happens
- Why stated values have zero relationship with actual behavior
- The five innovation behaviors: curious, customer-obsessed, collaborative, adept in ambiguity, empowered
- DBS Bank vs. Singtel: two different paths to culture change
- The intelligent failure framework and FAIL = First Attempt in Learning
Timestamps
(00:00) Introduction — Scott Anthony and Innosight
(10:00) Edgar Schein’s three levels of culture
(13:00) Stated values vs. actual behavior
(15:30) DBS Bank vs. Singtel: two paths to culture change
(26:00) BEANS: behavioral enablers, artifacts, nudges, systems
(43:00) Intelligent failure: celebrating learning, not just winning
Key Takeaways
- Culture is what people actually do. Stated values have near-zero correlation with real behavior. Measure behavior — not intent.
- Change habits, not beliefs. It’s easier to act your way into new thinking than to think your way into new acting.
- Intelligent failure is different from any failure. Be intentional about what you want to learn before you experiment. Celebrate the learning.
