Ads Worth Spreading: See The 10 Most World-Changing Ads, According To TED | Just Story It | Scoop.it
Communicating on behalf of a brand can be tricky business. A decent idea once passed through the brand’s filter and massaged and molded to hit key messaging targets can come out the other side a shell of its possible self.
Karen Dietz's insight:

Here is a way to start your weekend -- watching fabulous and inspiring ads that have had a positive impact on the world.


And there are some business lessons here to boot.


Ads you say? My business doesn't do ads! Well, there is still lots to learn here. Like writing down what made each ad effective and then thinking about how you bring that element into your business storytelling.


So go have fun exploring what works in these ads here and working with the ideas you get!

The Power of Story in Business Analysis

The Power of Story in Business Analysis | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before – you’re on a project that was thrust on your stakeholder groups from high above.  They were insufficiently consulted during the problem definition phase, and they are now questioning everything during implementation. These stakeholders can’t get the project to be outright cancelled, but they can cause it to be ultimately unsuccessful if they don’t commit to putting their time and energy into ensuring that the solution being developed is appropriately used.


Sound familiar? It sure does to me! 


So what is a leader, manager, consultant to do? Add stories into the mix.


I like this article because it directly addresses the difficulties of project management, enrolling people to your cause, and how stories can be one of the remedies applied.


The author includes 3 steps to shift the situation and get your projects back on track. If you are stuck -- read this. 


And if you consult with others, tuck this list in your back pocket to keep your clients & project on track.
