Quotes
-
“It is hardly a nutty idea that narrative is a useful means of transferring knowledge from one human—or squirrel to another. Steve Denning’s wonderful story about stories is a unique way to tell a fundamental truth about how organizations improve their performance.”
— Thomas H. Davenport, President’s Distinguished Professor, Babson College and Accenture Fellow -
“I’ve witnessed the power of narrative in my work and life, but I haven’t had the tools to effectively employ story when I’ve needed it most. Denning’s book provides the ‘how to’ for which I’ve been looking.”
— M. Gary Ryan, director, Brand Development and Strategy, People -
“Steve Denning is one of the most imaginative knowledge practitioners around, so it isn’t surprising that he’s produced a charming and illustrative fable about organizational life (among other things). Read it and grow wiser in the ways of squirrels and men!”
— Larry Prusak, coauthor, What’s the Big Idea and Working Knowledge
