Here is the synopsis of David's Talk:
Stories and narratives are essential to sensemaking about the pasts, the presents, and the futures of organisations. Drawing on Boje’s model of the dynamics of narrative and story sensemaking, I show how we can talk about time and space in organisations, the role of scale, and the incorporation of diverse and opposing perspectives in how we understand and shape change.
At the end of the session, you'll be able to:
- Distinguish between narratives and stories.
- Describe different forms of narrative and story, and how they can be used when storying to retrospectively to understand pasts, prospectively to understand possible futures, and in the now to understand emergence in the present.
- Define and identify the roles of dialogisms and dialectics in permitting, exploring, and transcending diverse perspectives.
Apply these ways of storytelling to the challenges we face in facilitating change.
