In this post Melbourne KM’er Keith De La Rue talks about the importance of capturing stories. Capturing and publishing stories of work, challenges, problems and solutions may open doors for collaboration that may have otherwise gone unopened.

I feel that we tend to accept story as part of a presentation - but may not express it in those words - yet baulk at it in other areas of business. There are other ways to describe it, of course. Like everything else we do, we need to deliver business benefits. Thanks for the comments, Frank and Yigal!

Many organization 'use' storytelling, i.e. tell stories, in a natural and unconscious manner as a routine form of communication, yet executives seems to not see themselves as storytellers. This is somehow challenging to understand why stories are being related so ambiguously in the business scene. Mainly, this is the center of my research.

In terms of participant feedback from each, we routinelty find that the speakers/facilitators that have proved most popular, and who messages resonate best, are those who tell stories. Presenters also feel that the stages at which they connected best with their audience was during and upon conclusion of a story. As an example, let me tell you about the time .....
