Objectives and Shape of the Day:

This workshop has been designed to assist the participant in learning tools:

(1) to introduce ‘Living Stories’ as a method for soliciting the most powerful stories within a group or an organization.

(2) To introduce a narrative understanding of how story works and how to work story

(3) to explore how patterns of story over time effect performance within an organization

(4) to identify ways in which Living Stories can be used in organizational settings

This workshop presents the Living Stories process, a tool for eliciting stories and beginning the exploration of meaning.

During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to practice technique, join in discussion, and explore lessons individually and in groups. After the workshop, the participants are invited to come to this web site to receive on-going insights and results of new research.
