This article walks you through the essential questions you need to be asking yourself as you craft your business stories.  And gives some great diagrams to illustrate the story dynamics & engagement process.


Some of the other diagrams about creating an entire story world for transmedia storytelling could also be useful. It just depends on how you want to strategically design and use your stories.


So there are insights to be gleaned from this article on several different levels.  Enjoy!

Karen Dietz's insight:

Ooooooooh, what fun to play with!


And what a great way to tell a quick business story. I love easy and quick!

Then post it to Google+ or other places. Woo hoo!


Thanks Robin Good for finding and sharing this. Life just got easier for us biz storytellers!
