The business case for storytelling, from elearningpost via BrewedFreshDaily:
Doc Searls has written an excellent piece on why weblogs will succeed where traditional knowledge management has failed. His explanation ties in with what we observed couple of years ago: weblogs are personal stories that embody tacit knowledge. Doc puts it nicely: “they are about sharing and growing what we know and what we can tell.”
A similar case would suggest that the active and conscious practice of OpenSpaceTech, invitation, and spontaneous organization will succeed when command, control and planned organization lose traction. Doc Searls also uses a four-quadrant map that lines up perfectly (if you spin it 90degrees) with the frame in InvitingOrganizationEmerges.
Some other good bits on OrganizationAsNarrative (storytelling) are posted in the wiki.
