An enterprise story is a narrative with our co-creators as ''protagonists,''
the enterprise as the ''setting'', the ecosystem as context, and the cocreators’
activities as ''actions''. Stories help us make sense of complex
ideas, concepts and situations and share that sense with other people.
Stories about past or future events can illustrate shared values,
assumptions and beliefs and what people can expect when interacting
with an enterprise. People actively construct their own mental imagery
and meaning when listening to stories. This causes the imagery and
meanings to be more closely interwoven with people’s internal narratives
about the world.

Story

The way we make sense of our enterprise and communicate to people what it does.

Description

An enterprise story is a narrative with our co-creators as protagonists, the enterprise as the setting, the ecosystem as context, and the co-creators' activities as actions. Stories help us make sense of complex ideas, concepts and situations and share that sense with other people. Stories about past or future events can illustrate shared values, assumptions and beliefs and what people can expect when interacting with an enterprise. People actively construct their own mental imagery and meaning when listening to stories. This causes the imagery and meanings to be more closely interwoven with people's internal narratives about the world.

Creating a story is a co-creative process, bringing together a group of stakeholders and helping them tell the story from their own perspectives. Such a story should not just describe what happened or will happen but also convey – as much as possible – why that matters and what it means to the protagonists in the story.
