WHAT WOULD YOUR CORPORATE STRATEGY SOUND LIKE AS A STORYWORLD? • The genre and theme • Industry and purpose • The forces in opposition • Competition, problem, challenge or issue • The goals and stakes • What does success mean? • A unique combination of events • What things need to happen? • The essence of the experience • What are the key elements of the culture, values and EVP • The trigger • The MOST IMPORTANT THING – WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
- 28. SOME NEXT STEPS How can you frame the ‘storyworld’ of your organisation? What is the story for your employee segments? What is the dramatic question at the heart of your strategy? How can employees co-create this? What will be different for your use of channels and media to make use of them in a transmedia setting?

Editor's Notes
- We are here at a communicators conference because we are kind of into story.
- We get that stories are our human currency, that they are how we transmit knowledge with context and meaning.
- But like anything that is successful, it gets popular, and it morphs and adapts. Content marketers love to say anything is a story.
- I’m going to try to simplify things by making them more complicated for a moment. Beyond ‘story’
- Use the examples of interacting with technology as an example
- Authenticity Trust Meaning Engagement Generational change (Data supporting each)
