Introducing
Goliath, Meet David

Imagine how different the story of David and Goliath would have been if Goliath had known how to use a sling as well.

We think today’s corporate giants also have lots to learn from their smaller, emerging counterparts. That’s why we’ve invited six leading figures from the start-up world to share their personal stories and perspectives on success, as part of a unique podcast series entitled “Goliath, Meet David”.

They’re nimble. They move quickly. They collaborate freely. They’re committed to their mission… These are just some of the things that give Davids (those small, emerging businesses and start-ups) an edge over other companies, including all those Goliaths (those larger corporates).

And all this made us wonder – how do they do it? And what can we learn from them? So we created “Goliath, Meet David” – a podcast series that features leading figures from the start-up world sharing their personal stories and perspectives. You’ll hear Wonderbag inventor and poverty activist Sarah Collins talk about how growing under apartheid shaped her business approach. You’ll hear Smarkets found Jason Trost explain why quick bad decisions beat slow good ones. You’ll hear start-up guru Heather Hartnett discuss the importance of cognitive diversity and much more.

So if you want to discover what makes small businesses more than the sum of their parts, and learn the approaches and strategies they use, which you can apply to your own business to become leaner, faster, and more entrepreneurial, download Korn Ferry’s “Goliath, Meet David” podcast series now at kornferry.com/Goliath.
