Visual Storytelling for Change Agents
Presented by: Martin Sykes
The evidence proves that stories trump data when it comes to persuasion. Stories are easier to understand and relate to. Even so, many people are reticent to tell stories because they believe “the facts” will speak for themselves. Hear about the power of storytelling and ensure your content stands above the rest.
The CAST process and Visual Story template used in this seminar has been developed and refined over a 10 year period with project teams and change agents in many large organizations, with a powerful combination of techniques from many different disciplines. This unique integrated approach provides a path from initial analysis through to effective delivery.
In this workshop you will learn how to:
- Use the Visual Story template and CAST process for creating effective stories
- Structure complex information into compelling change stories
- Use story frameworks and characters to engage decision makers
- Build design skills to create effective visuals that make the story stick
- Incorporate influencing and commitment-gaining steps into the delivery process
