The content doesn’t have to be true or historically accurate, but the story has to elicit advantageous behaviors for the…

Now we come to the trickiest part of the inventory, dealing with the planning and vision documents and consolidating them into an accessible master reference. One approach might be to categorize – technical, and story. Those are two categories but how do they help? What’s wanted is an approach for storing the insights so that…
