It provides a clear process for finding stories to tell, how to remember them, how to tell them and knowing when to refresh them. It's draws on the latest psychological, sociological and neuroscience research. It makes the case for business storytelling and teaches the reader about four story patterns to learn: connection story, clarity story, influence story and success story. The book also covers how to embed story techniques in organisations and how to use them to convey strategy.

Video: Knowledge Cafe at KM Egypt 2010
This video was taken at KM Egypt in September 2010 where I was invited to run a Knowledge Cafe.
It is probably one of the best videos that not only describes my Knowledge Cafes but where you also get to see it in action and hear some of the insights from the people taking part.
Note: the room and the tables are not the ideal setting for a Knowledge Cafe nor is the reporting back process but often the Cafe needs to be adapted to fit the room and the number of participants.
