Boxes And Arrows: Customer Storytelling At The Heart Of Business Success The storytelling techniques that we use to communicate and predict the thoughts, The storytelling of business change. Productfocused Business-focused http://www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/customer_storytelling_at_the_heart_of_bus
Extractions: All business decisions impact customers. Customers have real lives, real challenges, and real desires. Businesses have day-to-day and long-term goals of revenue generation, profit margin, market penetration, market, and brand value. We use customer observation, empathy, measurement, and ultimately understanding and predictability to spark new ideas and provide comfort and/or reassurance with strategic and tactical business decisions. The ROI of business decisions ought to be a reflection of satisfying both business and customer desires in mutually beneficial ways. Customer-centric discussions, strategy and results continue to increase their prevalence in the boardrooms. Personas are a clear, comprehensive, human way to tell those stories. Beginning a few years ago and continuing into the future, the use of personas and scenarios within our Experience Planning group and global marketing solutions company will continue to broaden in dimension, usefulness, and most importantly, business impact. The storytelling techniques that we use to communicate and predict the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of customers as they experience and interact with a company are useful in a breadth of business contexts. The following is a list of shifts or evolutions that we have experienced in our application of personas and scenarios to the business landscape. They continue to grow in complexity, vision, and usefulness in various business contexts.

Miss Carol's Magical Puppetime These delightful and interactive puppet shows combine puppetry with music, magic, storytelling, comedy and audience participation; good for all ages. http://www.magicalpuppetime.com/
Extractions: Miss Carol features her own handcrafted marionette puppets in a cabaret variety show where puppets perform a vast array of acts referred to as vignettes (short skits). They sing, dance, play musical instruments, do comical things, tell stories and jokes, perform circus tricks like juggling, and perform magical illusions and more. They appear very lifelike and may walk right up to audience members. As the puppeteer pulls a few strings, the marionettes captivate audiences and leave them spellbound. Included are vignettes from many familiar childhood favorite fairy tales, animal tales, nursery rhymes and original adaptations and parodies. Additional entertainment choices are also available to add to the above described variety show such as having your own theme orientation (see " themes " under "Meet the Puppets" above) , adding a fairygram (see " fairygrams " under "Meet the Puppets" above) , putting on and using finger puppets, petting puppets and/or helping to manipulate a marionette, playing musical instruments, helping with magic tricks, having their faces painted, and/or making a puppet or special favor the children can keep.

Extractions: Managing the iMovie-Infused Classroom I recently spent over an hour scouring the Web for iMovie teacher tips for a class I am teaching for my colleagues. Dozens of iMovie tip sites provided excellent tutorials and sample iMovies, but not one took the role of the teacher in mind. As with many technology workshops, the focus is on learning the software, but what is running through most teachersÂ’ minds is how to teach with the software or how will it look in their classroom. I have used the iMovie program for over 2 years with fourth and fifth graders. Whether you have only one computer or a 20-plus computer lab (Count your blessings if you do!), the following suggestions should keep your projects from becoming your entire curriculum. Advanced

The Storytellers - Editorial - CMO Magazine Sure, it s just storytelling, but marketing that succeeds turns into the lie we tell ourselves—and that hurts us and the people around us. http://www.cmomagazine.com/read/060105/storytellers.html
Extractions: The Resource for Marketing Executives IDG Network: Search SITE TOOLS Printer Friendly version Email this Page Subscribe to Magazine Subscribe to Newsletter User's Comments By Seth Godin ADVERTISER Just tell me the facts, tell me a story instead. Be remarkable! Be consistent! Be authentic! Tell your story to people who are inclined to believe it. Marketing is powerful. Use it wisely. Live the lie. Anyone can tell you the specs of a house or talk to you about the taxes. But he doesn't. Instead, Arthur does something very different. He takes you and your spouse for a drive. You drive up and down the hills of a neighborhood as he points out house after house (houses that aren't for sale). He tells you who lives in that house and what they do and how they found the house and the name of their dog and what their kids are up to and how much they paid. He tells you a story about the different issues in town, the long-simmering rivalries between neighborhoods and the evolution and imminent demise of the Mother's Club. Then, and only then, does Arthur show you a house. It might be because of Arthur's antique pickup truck or the fact that everyone in town knows him or the obvious pleasure he gets from the community, but sooner or later, you'll buy a house from Arthur. And not just because it's a good house. Because it's a good story.

Storytelling.html In this article, I want to discuss one of the nonformal methods I use storytelling. storytelling is an integral part of my approach to design, http://www.pliant.org/personal/Tom_Erickson/Storytelling.html
Extractions: Pity the poor interaction designer whose terrain is less tangible. Rather than an easily mapped site, our terrain is a situation, a set of tasks embedded in an environment that is as much cultural and social as it is physical. How does one come to grips with something that is so fluid and ephemeral? Beginning does not seem so easy. Yet, I claim that beginning is not so difficult. The difficulty is that interaction designers have not said much about how they begin the process of design. Little is said about what to do before you know what to do. Because interaction design has strong roots in the social sciences with their positivist approaches to studying and analyzing behavior, little has been written about non-formal methods, approaches which might serve as an analog to the architect's playful, exploratory sketching described above.
