Karen Dietz's insight:
This is an unusual post -- but it also reflects a side of business storyteling that rarely gets mentioned. It's the nitty-gritty side of hearing people share their stories. All compelling stories are made up of conflict, strife, struggle, trouble and the like. It's not a story without it. Yet the author here reminds us that it might not always be about happy endings -- and this can be just as powerful. If our business stories are only about the successes or triumphs, are we in some ways denying parts of the soul that inform our humanity? I certainly have personal stories that don't have happy endings, yet they are still powerful for the lessons I learned that I share with others. Hmmm -- this is a thought provoking article about storytelling. What do you get from it?

After two months of use, we’ve learned to our sorrow that EMRs don’t tell us stories that make cognitive sense. For years we've suffered from 'death by PowerPoint' as people's thinking and experience was forced into this limited computerized framework for transfering knowledge. Now physicians are facing a similar problem. That's because we think of knowledge as discrete pieces of information instead of knowing that knowledge is best conveyed through stories and rich media imbedded with layered meanings. Oh, when will we learn? Patients ARE stories. You would think that with all the work going on in storytelling these days (social media, marketing, branding, sales, leadership, agile software development, architecture, education, training, teamwork, and other business applications) someone somewhere would get the idea that Electronic Medical Records (EMR) should allow for story capture. Oh well. OK, I'll get off my soap box now. To really understand the beauty and the warts of EMR and its connection to storytelling, read this article. Maybe you'll be the one with the breakthrough idea and be the next mega-millionare for solving this problem! Delete the scoop?

Love this cheeky irreverant post with great insights on marketing, advertising, PR, social media, and storytelling.
Do you know about the 1:10:1 formula? Or the P4 process?
Me neither until I read the article. And they both make tons of sense.
I also like what the author Steve Kayser says, "You got no story. You got no game. You got no game – you got no business."
I also appreciate the books he lists at the end of his article as additional resources.
It's a refreshing post that brought a grin to my face! I hope you enjoy it also.
