Join Liz and Ron on another foolish journey to dissect a classic book as though it's a business book - which it very much isn't. Today, our book is, The Tiger Who Came to Tea.  Somehow, we manage to draw parallels between the tiger's unexpected visit and the concept of virality in business. It seems like a good thing, but can easily destroy a business - much like a tiger in your kitchen looks beautiful but is rather dangerous and a huge drain on resources.  Do look for more episodes in this Classic series - we've covered some corkers so far, from Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory + many more. Our next classic is looking at Cinderella - could it possibly be about sales training?
