We all have heard about storytelling and we also know how they help in asserting certain values or to make a point.

But how do you take people on a journey when something hasn't happened yet? Well, the answer may be future stories.

I am chatting with Mike Wittenstein to understand more and learn, why future stories are more powerful?

In this episode, we talk about:

• Is storytelling just a fad or something else?
• How do you differentiate a future story and one from the past?
• The practicality of future stories.
• Prototyping the future: What is it and why is it important?
• How do you prototype strategy?
• Who in the organization must be driving future stories?
• Designing service versus designing experience.
• Keeping bean-counters at bay.
• Clarity in communication for future stories.
• How do sci-fi movies fit in this?
• How do you encapsulate bigger organizational culture with only a few stories?
• Tips to practice future storytelling.
