Multi-day corporate storytelling workshop

Build an online and offline corporate and brand story that takes people on a journey of engagement and meaning.

An organisation without a story is an organisation without an identity. In the corporate storytelling workshop, you will learn how to define and further develop your corporate story step by step. Three goals can be achieved individually or together:

1.  The establishment of the business story within the corporate story. Who are we, what do we stand for, what do we want to achieve? Using the Golden Circle, we gain clarity on the Why, How and What and how to link this to the Personality, Positioning and Perspective of your organisation. We continue to build up a storytelling implementation plan: through what kind of process do we connect employees and customers to the corporate story?
2. Telling the business story through corporate storytelling. Touching people in their heads and hearts builds a strong brand. How does storytelling work in the context of your organisation? We will discover and record personal and organisational stories. We will look for links in the stories to the Why, Mission, Vision and core values of the organisation. Make your employees and customers partners in your dream and values and this emotional power source will spread the fire.

3. What is the story behind your brand? How does it give meaning to people’s lives? What is its relevance to the world? How do you convince today’s customers to become acquainted with your products or services? Storytelling has become the most important marketing tool because it is able to connect with people, whereas conventional advertising is no longer able to do so. In this workshop, you will learn how to define your customer story step by step and to further develop it through storytelling. No conventional marketing spiel, no abstract theories, just an inspiring workshop with relevant examples and concrete tips to help strengthen your brand story.
