Short explanation of Chip & Dan Heath's brilliant book 'Made to Stick' - Why some ideas take hold and others come unstuck. With the funny and sticky example by Via Baiba Svenca
Karen Dietz's insight:
I rescooped this from fellow curator Baiba Svenca even though I have curated the original video before. I did so because in this SlideShare presentation, it examines WHY this funny video -- Dumb Ways To Die -- really sticks. It's based on the Heath brother's book "Made To Stick." The presentation was put together by Orsolya Nemes in Budapest, Hungry, who is a consultant / trainer. It's a fabulous primer about how to craft your stories (and other material) so people remember it and repeat it via word-of-mouth marketing. The video is less a story, but it embodies many devices we use in storytelling to make our work memorable and repeatable. You will want to take note of these elements. That's a good thing! So have fun watching the video (it is one of my favorites) and go through the slide presentation to understand why it works so well.

LOL Ken! There are times I find a great article and wish I could have a 'redo' with a client :)

Great, if a bit long video included, but presentation is definitely worth a read.

Ooooooooh, what fun to play with! And what a great way to tell a quick business story. I love easy and quick! Write out the dialoge between 2 characters -- your business and a client, for example. Add some music and click play. Then watch the magic happen! Then post it to Google+ or other places. Woo hoo! Thanks Robin Good for finding and sharing this.
