Much has been written, of late, highlighting the value of
oral narrative or
storytelling as a catalyst for organizational change. These accounts
chronicle seasoned raconteurs single handedly inciting enormous
transformation in organizations heretofore seemingly unwilling or unable
to contemplate the most modest change imitative.
This is a tale
about three such stories, each of which seemed to cultivate knowledge
sharing and sow the seed of change.
Of course time will be the real test; however, anecdotal evidence seems
to support the proposition that well written futuristic stories provide
an excellent alternative to face to face oral narrative. At least in
these examples, the written story proved to be a motivator for knowledge
sharing and organizational change. Click
