The presenter(s) will not be making the same presentation as at the IT Summit, but instead will present a brief overview and then engage with the participants. The abstract below is provided to give you a sense of their interest:
The heavy lifting of architecting, building, integrating, testing and deploying the technical solution is done. It’s time to get the story out to drive user understanding and adoption. To stumble at this phase puts the impact of all the work that came before it at risk. This session focuses on best practices that drive communications objectives – at every stage of the IT lifecycle — to fuel momentum of technical innovation across the organization, and in doing so elevating the profile of the talent behind it. The session will examine:
- How to craft the story: tips on how pulling together the story to make it memorable, engaging and actionable.
- How to drive adoption of it: leveraging traditional communications channels and putting organizational communications infrastructures to work for you.
- Pushing the story to social spaces: building a community around the program to create ripple effects in social spaces.
- Putting the people behind the story forward: elevating the profile the teams behind the innovation to drive greater adoption.

From Ancient Greeks to Modern Geeks – The Art of Storytelling: 9 months ago · ViewPlease answer any questions you find interesting, on point, and have time for. Thanks!
1)Would you say, in a nutshell, you are explaining how to conceive of and conduct effective outreach (to users) and inreach (behind the scenes to various IT groups and stakeholders besides users)? If not, then what?
2)Why do you think “Personify the Story: Elevating Profiles of the Teams” in order to ‘put the people behind the story forward’ is the best type of personalization? How about “Personify the Story: Tell me why I should care about your new widget?” instead? (Meaning, instead of personalizing the team behind the innovation, personalize the benefit of the innovation to the end user in order to drive adoption. What do you think?)
3)Here at NASA, what “social spaces” were you thinking of in order to create ripples?
4)What challenges in particular have you seen with a ‘bi-directional communication path’ and social spaces? Has finding and responding to comments, complaints, questions and praise posted in such an informal way in a variety of locations proven to be a challenge? And, is it the “story-tellers” responsibility to do so? -
