Climateer Line of the Day: Clayton Christensen Cringes Edition

A little alliteration in the headline.
Today's CLoD occurs in a Paul Murphy production starring David Keohane:
"Here’s the plan, we’re going to disrupt the sex toy AND the undertaking business in one fell swoop."
-FT Alphaville's Further Reading post.

Continuing along the alliterative path, a quick Google search for Climateer, Clayton, Christensen turns up:
