Soapstone carving of a boat.
Written for Natalie Shell, who edited the February edition of AI Practitioner on Significance of Story: Gifts, New Techniques and Inspiring Examples
Stories give, rather than take, time. This is a special attribute, much neglected, but to be
treasured, in a work world where we’re inclined to finish each other’s sentences,
competing for time and space in the organisational agenda and politics. This short essay
explores some different ways of opening up the neglected or squashed breathing and story
spaces in organisations – invitation, corridors and stairs, journeys, exhibits and objects,
silence and empty spaces, importing the story spaces crafted by others, as a lens through
which to view the organisation. All of these, and many others, are ways to reorganise time,
space, rhythm, relationship and perspective at work.
