We are all aware that business, as usual, is over. In many ways, agility is the new certainty. Every startup hopes and dreams that one day they'll have the power and leverage of an industry giant. However, in becoming so big, those industry giants lose a lot of their agility. But what if these two very different ways of doing business found a way to come together? What could the Gorillas of industry teach startups? Moreover, could the startup teach these gorillas how to dance?
