So How Do You Structure a Compelling Story?
All influential and persuasive organizational storytelling starts with the ABT agile narrative framework.
The ABT works because it leverages the three forces of story, which are agreement, contradiction and consequence. Our primal pattern-seeking, cause-and-effect, decision-making limbic buying brain LOVES this story formula because it makes even the most complex messages simple and easy to get.
