Storytelling goes way beyond your company's advertising or copywriting, it goes to the heart of your identity, and it reveals your deeper purpose. Sometimes stories must be built using logic, numbers, and rigorous data analysis, because all great stories must be believable. But all great stories go beyond the numbers, and awaken a deeper connection. There are at least four stories that each organisation needs to master in order to maximise the potential of its stakeholders - 1. The Innovation Story: why your offer will make the future better 2. The Strategy Story: how you are well positioned to achieve your goal 3. The Culture Story: why it is worth the commitment from your team 4. The Customer Story: how your offer makes life better for them. Together they form the essence of your brand.
