Mega hits 2015
We’ve been invited to work with a stunning variety of projects this year, exposed to ever-more stories and fields where it has been applied. This has meant a huge learning journey for us, needing to get to grips with crucial issues in different sectors, as well as different company cultures. In all, we’ve supported deeper, more effective and more vibrant stories in corporate, artistic, non-profit and social business spheres.

We took a deep look at the project’s points of magnetism and evolved a conversation about their project into deep reflection on Rotterdam culture and the role of cities in the 21st century.

After a successful workshop in November 2014, we worked with CISU to create a story activation tool for their 300-member network. After consultation, prototyping and testing, the tool provided input for CISU to conduct story workshops with their members. Words That Change provided story expertise, which CISU adapted and enhanced through the unrolling of its story programme. This is an example of in-skilling which allows us to have powerful impact where budgets need to be conserved for critical causes. Read more

Circle Economy promotes systems change in closing the loop in how we use resources at company, sector and regional level. At the start of 2015, they approached us with a question of how they can tell a better story. We designed a half-day workshop that brought together 15 team members, including leadership, to find their own personal story and how this merged to create the combined Circle Economy story.
