Kelsey Ruger has been running a series on business storytelling on his blog The Moleskin. It’s a particularly helpful series for newbies to business narrative/organizational storytelling, as veterans may find it a bit too basic.

But what even longtime organizational-storytelling followers will enjoy are Ruger’s charming hand-drawn charts and pictures illustrating the concepts he writes about. See one of them at right.

Here’s what the series has covered so far:

• Mar 8, 2010: Storytelling In Business: Tension Makes Your Story Interesting
• Mar 7, 2010: Storytelling In Business: Elements of Story Structure
• Mar 3, 2010: Storytelling In Business: How Can It Benefit You?
