ABSTRACT

Since the beginning of time, people have loved to hear stories. “Tell me a story!” we would beg our parents when we were little. “Tell it again!”

To my mind, storytelling is one of the most important skills a CIO can possess. In the boardroom, the story is one of finance; in your IT leadership meetings, the story is one of vision, teamwork, and value; and with your customers, you tell a story of comfort, convenience, revenue, or happiness.
