By focusing on goals rather than projects and continuous delivery rather than scheduled releases, he'll illustrate how the most “agile” organizations succeed. He'll dispel myths around reduced quality and increased risk. He'll even show that you can implement many of these changes right away.

Creating A Culture Of Storytelling from NTEN's 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conf...Roger Burks
We know that storytelling is the most powerful way to get your organization's message out there, heard and remembered. We know that compelling stories inspire action and change. But how do you get your organization to commit to storytelling?
In this session - a continuation of last year's Better Online Storytelling panel - we'll explore successful, specific techniques to get your organization started finding and telling its best stories. From stories to emails, blogs to social media, you can create a culture of storytelling.
This document discusses storytelling and its importance. It notes that storytelling is how humans make sense of their experiences and that people spend much of their time engaged with stories. Storytelling can help distill information and make it more understandable and memorable. Stories involve characters, objectives, obstacles, and resolutions.

The document then provides tips on finding and crafting stories, including conducting research, gaining user insights, and developing characters, plots, and narrative arcs.

What does John F. Kennedy's "We choose to go to the moon in this decade...", the recent organizational change that you had, and your latest update on social media have in common? Have you ever thought why well-intended, perfectly valid logical ideas fail to appeal to people?
One of the best ways to communicate with people is through a story. Stories or narratives help you to connect with the hearts and minds of your audience. An emotionally engaging story affects more areas of the brain than rational, data-driven messages - meaning that they are far more likely to resonate with people you lead. Realizing this, the importance of storytelling as a tool has gained prominence in organizations.
So what sort of stories can you tell in a business context? And an eloquent leader uses different narrative patterns of storytelling to achieve different outcomes. Learn about the skill of storytelling to communicate your vision, spark action, have people collaborate at work and transform your organization.
