Tips & Tricks To Explain Complex Things In A More Comprehensible Way
Germany is known for its deep roots and successes in industrial engineering and technological innovation, but how to talk about it, that is a whole other story!
Yes, story. What do we mean by that?
It can be challenging to effectively and plausibly communicate research, product ideas and designs, or even your own skills to nontechnical managers in your company, or to industry stakeholders. You may need to translate your work and expertise into more accessible language, and demonstrate how it can be applied to the company’s specific needs and goals. It may also be necessary to highlight the value and potential of your work to decisionmakers.
Story telling training can help to overcome these challenges. With frameworks, canvases and other useful tools we teach how to translate your work and skills into more accessible language, demonstrate its practical applications and potential impact on the company, and highlight its value to decisionmakers.
This interactive one-hour session will present a few concepts and tools available in industrial storytelling, highlight tips & tricks, present examples from working with clients in Germany, and most importantly, also engage you in some practical exercise. Have a pen ready! (we will bring a few of these old school devices as well).
