Show Notes

Host: Ken Valledy (Partner/Co-founder at Progressive)
Progressive helps organisations unlock and commercialise new growth opportunities more rapidly than their competition and more effectively than traditional innovation programmes.

The Catalysts Podcast focuses on the key benefits of corporates and startups working together and how these partnerships can become a catalyst for change for the future. In each episode we will discuss a key topic area behind these partnerships with either a startup or a senior corporate stakeholder.

In today’s episode, we look at  the “why,” “how,” and “where” of corporate-startup partnering, and asking is there a strategic framework that large companies can apply towards achieving successful partnerships and collaborations with startups?

To help me in this quest, I am really pleased to have as our guest Shameen Prashantham
(Professor of International Business and Strategy at the China Europe International Business and Author of a great new book called Gorillas can Dance, which offers large corporations a guide to partnering and collaborating with startups).
