WHY DOES IT MATTER?
We’ve had evidence that the program is impacting bottom-line business results.
In one example, a design director at a creative agency was working with her team on an idea to pitch an existing client on some new work. The idea was to create a concept store and update the brand. While the team was confident of both the business impact the work would likely have and their ability to execute on the project, it wasn’t something that the client was asking for, and the team would have to be strategic about how they presented it. They were stuck about how to proceed.
Remembering the Storytelling workshop, the design director decided to use the framework we’d used in class, and emailed us to say it to “probably the most productive 60 minutes we’ve had in years!” They crafted a compelling pitch, presented it to the company, and it went well. After a series of additional meetings, they landed the work - a contract worth half a million dollars.
