Summary: | Part one of a two part article continuing the theme of a earlier article
(Business Information Review, 16(1) March 1999, 30–37) which
outlined some of the uses of storytelling for communication and knowledge
disclosure. Reports results of a study, based on over five years of research,
experimentation and practice, of storytelling (‘Story’) as a
form of ‘anecdote enhancement’: a useful technique in its own
right but one which, if taken in isolation, fails to exploit the full richness and
potential of Story. Covers basic language, some uses of storytelling principles in
organizations and the techniques required to elicit anecdotes from communities.
Describes also the extraction of archetype from anecdotes and hints at the
extraction and use of organizing principles, the nature and function of which will
be covered in Part 2. |
