Serendipity indeed!
The storytelling presentation showed us how
different we are in all dimensions, and that it can result in great
combinations of all our thoughts. Not
even discussing what are we going to present each of us came up with the idea,
presentation style and examples that were totally different. We never repeated
the ideas of one another and the flow of the presentation gave us the perfect
picture of what is storytelling, what shall we stay in our story, how should we
do it, how we shouldn’t do it and what examples should we use in order the
reader to understand our story. The perfect definition of that storytelling
chapter is unity in diversity.
But the coin has two sides, so at Friday
our diversity showed us that having so different views could also bring us to
the different answers of the same question. While building this expansion
strategy we answer the question what would work in our own country and the
results of course don’t mach. Having this in mine I think its obvious that that
we ended up arguing and defending our own point of view. Key learning from this
storytelling chapter- don’t focus too much on what is different in our views,
but try find a consensus in all the
point we all agree.
To
sum my key learning from this week:
- - storytelling is about emotions
- - in order story to work it should target the right audience
- - don’t discuss the concept serendipity
- - using diversity is not easy, but it definitely brings great results
I agree with your key learning Inna, that we should always strive for consensus and the things that we can agree on! And once again, I like the fact there are key learnings for the week. You should seriously print this out every week and stick it on the wall behind you. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha my favourite learning is "don't discuss the concept serendipity". I share your thoughts and agree with trying to find unity in diversity. I think establishing some ground rules for discussions will help us!
ReplyDeleteSerendipity indeed, you just ask your future roommate!
