Smart Startups: What Every Entrepreneur Needs to Know–Advice from 18 Harvard Business School Founders
Two startup company founders and angel investors go inside eighteen companies founded by Harvard Business School graduates, uncovering surprising lessons for success and unexpected pitfalls essential for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Conventional “wisdom” holds that the most successful entrepreneurs in the world are born with a genius for starting companies, experience one lightning-bolt moment of inspiration after another, follow a tried-and-true process to scale to a billion dollars, and attract deep-pocketed investors at every turn.
The real story is a bit more unconventional—and much more interesting.
Would-be-entrepreneurs Catalina Daniels and James Sherman, hungry to study and apply the best practices of startups to their own ventures, studied the nuts-and-bolts of entrepreneurship as classmates at Harvard Business School. Years later, after successfully founding and exiting several companies, and as angel investors in start-ups, they were surprised to realize that their experiences greatly differed from what they had been taught in school. HBS provided a world-class education in the basics. But there was so much they learned the hard way—working in the trenches—that, looking back, they wished they’d known before starting up.
Inspired, Daniels and Sherman interviewed eighteen HBS graduates and entrepreneurs about their experiences founding companies such as Blue Apron, Rent the Runway, Gilt, and AdoreMe, probing them about what they discovered along the way and what they wish they had known beforehand. The authors bring these insights to life by showcasing the founders in their own words and giving readers the experience of chatting with these remarkable entrepreneurs over a cup of coffee No other book has unearthed advice from so many HBS entrepreneurs. The result is wisdom that challenges assumptions, destroys preconceived notions, crystalizes hunches, and articulates perceptions with a depth possessed by few people in the world.
Starting a business is hard. Seventy percent of startups today fail after their seed round, and less than ten percent achieve success for founders and investors. Faced with such a daunting threshold, aspiring entrepreneurs need all the advice, wisdom, and inspiration they can get. Smart Startups is written for them—a timeless record of essential knowledge that can help them avoid failure and achieve success.

The Art of Consultancy: A Powerful Toolkit to Becoming a Top Consultant
This is the practical approach I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Cynthia Pexton-ShawWhether you are just starting out, considering or already working as a consultant this book is essential reading, enabling you to understand the needs of your client and to get the result they want.
There are more factors to consider in order to be a successful management consultant than simply subject matter knowledge. Problem solving and solution delivery have to be accomplished in usually tight project timescales while keeping clients happy. This book, based on the experience of training thousands of consultants, provides insights into the key processes of selling and delivering consulting services, together with the essential underpinning tools and techniques, and the commercial imperatives for running a successful consulting practice.
This book contains the tools, tactics, secrets and attributes to develop and become a successful management consultant. The contents include chapters on the key processes such as:
- The business of consultancy
- Marketing and selling consultancy projects
- Overview of the delivery process
- Entry, Contracting, Diagnosis, Intervention and Closure
And the essential underpinning skills such as:
- Analytical tools and techniques
- Reporting and Influencing clients
- Designing, delivering training sessions and workshops

‘This is the practical approach I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Calvert provides a strong guiding framework for delivering consultancy projects from beginning to end. His writing makes consulting easily accessible for anyone who wishes to deliver their particular expertise into a client organisation.’ Cynthia Pexton-Shaw, Elevation Learning
‘A book that gets to multiple editions is clearly a classic of its sector. Calvert’s is in its seventh and will probably go on to many more. It achieves a threefold feat: of being useful to the expert and to the recently qualified and to the student. Even those of us who have spent decades in this profession need a consultancy bible to refer to. Calvert shows how to be rigorous and systematic, but the book is packed with practical advice from one who is both an academic expert and a senior practising consultant. This is both The Art and The Science of Consultancy.’ Ian Watson – Immediate Past Chair ICMCI
‘This book explains in plain English the role and daily challenges of life as a management consultant, and has been an excellent source of reference in building our business. Calvert presents a practitioners view covering the requisite soft skills as well as the mechanics of solving the client’s business problems.’ Martyn Evans, Consulting Director, Altus

Clever Security Clever Business: Using a Security Management System to enhance security, unlock business opportunities and boost cost-efficiency
Enhance security. Unlock business opportunities. Boost cost-efficiency.
Terrorists and other criminals are constantly probing the cyber and physical defences of businesses, testing the robustness of the security measures and the alertness and resolve of the people. These are real risks yet the response is often questionable. Businesses adopt security measures that provide uncertain levels of protection and place a drag on business opportunities in return for what seems an unfathomably big budget.
Underlying the unease about the security measures and budget is the ill-informed security culture of “It will never happen here….”.
If only there was a better way….
If only there was a way to understand the magnitude of the security risks, what security measures were appropriate, and what the security budget should actually be.
If only there was a way to coordinate physical, cyber and personnel security.
If only there was a way to align security to business goals, enabling progress rather than restricting it.
If only there was a way to assure the business that it was adequately protected and there would be no unwelcome surprises.….There is, and it’s easier than the “carry on as you are” option
Clever Security, Clever Business reveals the secrets for blending agile security with informed business management to deploy security where and when it’s needed. It shows how a Security Management System – a SeMS – can equip security and business managers with the tools to keep security in proportion with the right budget for the right security measures.
Properly executed, a SeMS is an enabler of business success, opening doors to new business opportunities by providing the certainty needed to make confident business decisions – and doing so cost-efficiently.
But you can’t buy a SeMS off the shelf that will support the goals and harness the idiosyncrasies of your business, you have to grow one organically. Based on the experience of successful SeMS projects, Clever Security, Clever Business shows you how to build a practical corporate security management solution and develop healthy security behaviours using proven business processes and methods.“Very thought provoking and a must read for any CEO and Head of Security”
Billy Hann, CEO, Dublin Bus“Engaging, thought-provoking, a very approachable and practical explanation of security management”
Rania Khbais, Course Leader and Senior Lecturer in Aviation Security, Buckinghamshire New University“Essential insights that are applicable for security teams across industries”

The Business of Platforms: Strategy in the Age of Digital Competition, Innovation, and Power
A trio of experts on high-tech business strategy and innovation reveal the principles that have made platform businesses the most valuable firms in the world and the first trillion-dollar companies.
Managers and entrepreneurs in the digital era must learn to live in two worlds—the conventional economy and the platform economy. Platforms that operate for business purposes usually exist at the level of an industry or ecosystem, bringing together individuals and organizations so they can innovate and interact in ways not otherwise possible. Platforms create economic value far beyond what we see in conventional companies.
The Business of Platforms is an invaluable, in-depth look at platform strategy and digital innovation. Cusumano, Gawer, and Yoffie address how a small number of companies have come to exert extraordinary influence over every dimension of our personal, professional, and political lives. They explain how these new entities differ from the powerful corporations of the past. They also question whether there are limits to the market dominance and expansion of these digital juggernauts. Finally, they discuss the role governments should play in rethinking data privacy laws, antitrust, and other regulations that could reign in abuses from these powerful businesses.
Their goal is to help managers and entrepreneurs build platform businesses that can stand the test of time and win their share of battles with both digital and conventional competitors. As experts who have studied and worked with these firms for some thirty years, this book is the most authoritative and timely investigation yet of the powerful economic and technological forces that make platform businesses, from Amazon and Apple to Microsoft, Facebook, and Google—all dominant players in shaping the global economy, the future of work, and the political world we now face.
