Narrative techniques for organisational knowledge sharing (2)
“The narrative impulse is always with us; we could not imagine ourselves through a day without it” (Robert Coover)
Technique Snapshots
Reverse brainstorming
Reverse brainstorming helps you solve problems by combining brainstorming and reversal techniques. Humans are better at being negative than positive! This technique goes negative in order to realise the positive. More theory and practice
Appreciative Inquiry
This approach is a positive search for what is working well, the successes and high points of a person’s experience, and what it is about the way in which the organisation ‘behaved’ that made that experience positive. In essence it searches for the “root causes of success”. More theory and practice
Positive Deviance
Positive Deviance is an approach to behavioural and social change based on the observation that in a community, there are people, ‘Positive Deviants’, whose uncommon but successful behaviours or strategies enable them to find better solutions to a problem. More theory and practice
Technology of Participation (ToP)
ToP attempts to provide non-threatening processes to allow individual contributions and an environment which harnesses creativity, encourages differing views to be expressed and explored, develops team relationships and trust, and empowers individuals and groups. More theory and practice
