I yelped “Yes!” when I read this quote from the Anecdote.com site:
I have found that even some of the best organizational storytelling books often fail to make storytelling come alive and really show how to use it.
Thus, it’s great news that Shawn Callahan and his crew at Anecdote.com have brought out The Ultimate Guide to Anecdote Circles and provided it as a free download.
The Web site notes:
Anecdote circles are a narrative technique like focus groups except they’re facilitated to elicit stories rather than judgement and opinion. The collected stories reveal what is really happening in your organisation and what people value. Anecdote circles are a powerful tool to gain insight and new perspectives.
