I hope that you are not proposing to leave out important facts.

The old saying goes, "Don't confuse me with the facts."

Emotional stories that appeal to gut decision making can lead to bad descisions.

A very valid point. I think the key is to integrate the accurate, relevant facts into the story.

You can have the same content, it's a question of presentation.

Hi -- just remember that the intent of this book was not to lay a foundation for using stories in organizations (been there done that -- see books by Steve Denning, Annette Simmons, Evelyn Clark), but to focus much more on the tangible results companies generated using stories, along with practical guidelines. Even Microsoft participated!

This is also a book where companies themselves talked about their experiences. The book also reflects the wide range of applications for stories and is a significant contribution to the field of organizational storytelling. Unfortunately, it can't be all things to all people. If you really want to know who's doing what with organizational stories, the results they've achieved, and the pointers they have for you, then this book fills the bill. Enjoy!
