Every organization, be it a Fortune 500 company, a nonprofit or a startup, needs a story that captures the “why” beyond the “what” and communicates your purpose, brand and relevance in a way that’s unique and compelling. Yet, too often we resort to rattling off dry data points like lists of services or products, target markets, head counts and revenue figures.
In this interactive session, Rob Biesenbach will talk about why stories more effective than data, examine the key components to any successful company story and review examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then you’ll have the chance to construct, refine and share your own story.
