Overview
Storytelling in an organisational context is an incredible tool that creates clarity and emotional resonance; this skill is often overlooked as a critical communication tool in initiating and leading change and is needed now more than ever. Stories speak to our sense of logic as well as our emotions and engage the audience to visualise the key messages that leaders must now deliver.
Three years ago Jeff Bezos – Amazon Founder and CEO - threw out the “data dump” method of reporting from his executive team at Amazon and required storytelling for all executive briefings. As recently as July he used this methodology to explain the digital landscape to non-digital natives in a US Congressional hearing.
Today’s organisation are swimming in a sea of data with a need to make the data relevant, humanistic and actionable. Human brains are primed for story models to create understanding and mental maps.
This program enables participants to understand the power of stories, how to “mix” recipes and archetypes to create impactful organisational stories that enable change insight and answer the important question of “why”.
