Introduction
Story telling has deep roots steeped in many traditions. For centuries stories have been a cornerstone for the transmission of cultures, values and systems of governance from one generation to the next. Carefully told wisdoms have been shared and passed on through ancient, well established techniques. Wisdom and learning have been shared with love, passion, care and deeply embedded value systems.
Globally and in Africa, with the advent of our VUCA and our modern, fast paced technologically disruptive, impatient, complex society, this age-old tradition has all but been lost. Story telling is seldomly applied and certainly has never been restored to its previous status.
Transformational storyboarding™ TS is a unique process for unlocking Individual, Team and Organisational wisdoms for and in any transformation journey. As part of their Knowledge Management strategies, most business / organisation systematically invest in state-of-the-art digital and Cloud technologies. These ICT “systems” purport to enable better management of data, information and achieve business integration. “Digital transformation” is insufficient in and of itself. ERP, cloud-based systems, Knowledge Management Systems and others have proven to disappoint. They produce data and information. They produce reports, but not learning. They store knowledge but not wisdom. They embed “best practice processes” but not “best practice wisdoms”.
Knowledge Management further involves leaders rediscovering the benefits and pleasures of telling rich stories. Leaders in the context of Transformational storyboarding™, are defined as “anyone who has a story to tell”. Real knowledge management must include the management of the tapping into and recording individual and collective wisdoms and lessons learnt and transmitting these from generation to generation. This has been hard to achieve given that most leaders have, by and large, lost touch with their own memories, oral traditions, wisdoms that collectively formed the very history and growth of their organisations.
Many a storyteller’s role is in fact much deeper than the mere sharing of knowledge, data, information, values and behaviours. In some profound way, good storytellers are able to tap individual and collective sub-consciousness. Through Transformational Storyboarding™, spiritual wisdoms are tapped. These spiritual wisdoms are the only true vehicle for achieving real individual and organisational transformation. The art of Transformational Storyboarding™ is one that can be learnt by and from each storyteller. Every storyteller is invited to embark on this innovative personal and organisational transformational journey. Transformational Storyboarding™ methodology utilises a detailed structured framework.
