stories and organizations
There’s a pressing need in most organizations to get on with whatever it is.
Plans and strategies are shriveled to mission statements and bland reports, project plans and information. People insist on their own version of things rather than accepting a range of views, leaving no breathing space for the listener to come to their own conclusions about things.
Are stories dead in such places? Certainly not. They’re as alive as ever, and to be found in the usual places: around the water cooler, down the pub after work, the café over lunch, at the moment where you stroll down a corridor with a colleague to grab a coffee, tell your partner over dinner about the kind of day you’ve had.
