Sometimes, it takes 77 years for the true power of a story to unfold.

Sometimes, it takes 77 years to prove that data and graphs are nothing without a story

Sometimes, you read 77-year-old figures, and it simply goes BOOM when you connect them to the present.

And sometimes, the best pieces of content need no further explanation…

#refugeeswelcome or #refugeesnotwelcome ?

#understanding or #ignorance ?

#peace or #war ?

#love or #hate ?

#HIStory or #HERstory or #OURstory ?

#jews or #muslims or #catholics or #protestants or #hindus or #buddhists or #whoeverisdifferent ?

#hiSTORY or #future ?

#lessonslearned or #nothinglearned ?

 

We will see. Hope dies last, they say. But it dies.

People often ask me: What is a story? And what isn’t?

Where to begin? Where to end? How to convey the essence of this ancient concept in a so-called elevator pitch – which is even much shorter than the infamous management summary?

Epic’s have been written, filmed, recorded about this topic. From Aristotle to McKee. All very well, all very correct. But also: all very long.

This is my elevator-pitch attempt at less-than-twitter brevity, a visualisation of story motion. Three arrows. Three words. My storycodeX in a nutshell:

You can always apply more detail. More academia. And I’m sure I will, bit by bit.

But for me: This is it.

Agree?

Disagree?

Why?

Let me know!
