Storytelling is Essential for AI Adoption
AI Time Journal
June 21, 2022
Most of us are good at what we do, but waiver when it comes to effectively communicating to the rest of the organization, the value-based results we just delivered.
This is where understanding the Art of Storytelling becomes the next set of skills in your toolbelt: an empathy building skill
Julienne B. Ryan joins me to chat about the importance of story telling and provide some key take-aways you can start practicing tomorrow.
Why Does Story Telling Work So Well:
1. Storytelling works because the human brain is wired for narratives. It exists in the human brain since time began in every culture.
2. Data provides facts. Story builds context and connects the facts. It forms the pathway to connection. Facts plus emotion = memory.
3. Storytelling helps us with our critical thinking. Change the script, the narrator, creates opportunities to rethink situations and interactions.

Melissa Drew
February 08, 2022
Developing the right Change Mgmt. Framework, is similiar to building the right kind of chair that will not fall down over time.
Starting with the Foundation - 3 legged stool
Leg 1 - Traditional Program focused on 80% end users, to minimize the negative impacts of change
Leg 2 - Targeted approach to the remaining 20% of the users who can indavertenly create an obstacle for sustainable end user sucess
Leg 3 - Executive Leadership needs attention as well. If your leadership is not saying or doing anything, then they are really saying a lot! If leadership is not communicating the right message, telling the right story, and with consistency, then leadership can become the largest obstacle.
