Chapter Chapter 2 in Making Sense of Work Through Collaborative Storytelling, 2022, pp 7-26 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Similar to social identities, each storystory and its narration is unique and yet relational and situated in a context of history, culture, and materiality. In this chapter, we explore local and global systems of narratives and their powerful influence on the stories and metaphors we tell and we are told to make sense of our embodied lived experiences. Through our theory of Collaborative StorytellingCollaborative Storytelling , we discuss how Collaborative Storytelling Activity, with the tool Collaborative Story CraftCollaborative Story Craft , expands individual and collective sensemaking at work to build inclusive narratives in organisational change.
