Enhancing Business Effectiveness Through Storytelling

You’re Invited to an informational Virtual Meeting.   (See Registration link below)

Topic: Enhancing Business Effectiveness Through Storytelling

Overview/PremiseBusiness

Effectiveness requires deep understanding of business challenges, the people who are impacted, and what solutions look like and do. The ability to mine a story for deep meaning and deep understanding refines and sharpens understanding and assumptions about business concerns to improve concepts, insights about them, and perspectives to guide and control action.

Objective

The purpose of this program is for the audience to experience enhancing business effectiveness through storytelling by listening to a narrative and then working through example questions and issues to achieve and validate meaningful insights anchored in a clear and deep understanding of business terms and ideas embedded in the story.

Learning Objectives

•Mine a story for content related or applicable to business

•Explore the content of thestory within context to clarify and deepen understanding

•Launch a go-forward use of the approach
