KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Stories provide a simple and effective way to cultivate innovation
Watch the recording of Shawn Callahan’s 2020BIIF keynote presentation and learn eight story-based techniques you can use to foster innovation in your organisation
Shawn Callahan, Anecdote’s Founder, was invited to present at the 2020 Bendigo Invention + Innovation Festival (2020BIIF). He gave a keynote presentation titled Seven ways to use storytelling to foster innovation. We’ve now made the 17-minute recording available to watch on demand.
When we share and hear stories of innovation, we discover what’s possible: we learn what to do, what to avoid, who to work with, who to avoid, and how to get things done. But, in our world of work, work, work, and now work from home, there seem to be fewer spaces to hear these stories. We need to make space for them. In Seven ways to use storytelling to foster innovation, Shawn (contrary to the title) shares eight story-based techniques that you can employ within your organisation to support innovation.
Shawn also wrote a blog post based on this presentation and the section on innovation in our definitive guide to corporate storytelling, Corporate Storytelling—The Essential Guide.
Watch the keynote and learn how to:
- Hear failure stories;
- Hear problem-solving stories;
- Hear success stories;
- Hear organisational innovation stories;
