He's trying to develop instruction that will make an impact on employees, but from his very first conversation with stakeholders, he's missing something: a great story for training. You can help him. In this session, you'll discover how to analyze for stories, use the Story Design model to create characters in conflict and deliver stories using tools you already own. Corporate L&D managers, instructional designers and consultants will enjoy a highly interactive, fun session that build storytelling chops for putting content into context.

  Application on the job
