Would that the notion of “story” got through….. So often, too often, the storyboard consists of a series of headings — Abstract, contents, intro, research, implications, summation — where it’s assumed that you can plug SOMETHING into the slots you must have done it right.
A few years ago, there was a push in church to do what they called “narrative budgets.” Instead of mummified figures and cry-preserved formulas, tell people what you’re trying to do with what you’ve got. It fell flatter than a sexist joke. People could not get their minds around “narrative.”
Jim T – Wow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I thought everyone told stories. Another reminder that we need more than one type of human on proposal teams – more than one type of thinking.
