This week on Nimble Hippo Radio, we talk to Amanda Lang, host of Bloomberg North.


Lang talks to the Nimble Hippo about the fear large companies have of the rapid disruption happening all around them, and how — despite commonly cited examples of companies like Uber & Airbnb disrupting existing business — big companies might need to worry more about being disintermediated by hundreds of smaller firms.

Lang shares insights about Canadian companies expanding to bigger markets, and looks at what big companies can learn from start-ups, emphasizing that big companies will never — and should never — be a start-up. They should be a Nimble Hippo: big, curious, nimble, smart and cool.

Happy listening.
