Beyond the boardroom, spreadsheets and strategy decks lies another world that looks surprisingly familiar: the jungle. The Jungle Fables is Prime Media Consultancy’s original collection of modern business fables exploring strategy, leadership, ambition, power, competition, human behavior and growth through the creatures of the wild.
