Storytelling and conversations

Try changing the narrative

Since humans started talking 10.000 years ago, communication has been at the core of our nature. Nothing is as powerful as a story told right and a good heart-to-heart.

Workz have worked with the transformative power of conversations and storytelling for more than 25 years, building engaging narratives and driving change through designed dialogues.

Benefits

Some things you can change just by talking about them

Born out of the Danish movie industry and role-playing scene, we are storytellers and conversationists before anything else.

Compelling narratives

Compelling narratives

Humans understand the world through stories. If none is given to us, we will invent our own. Workz help our clients take control of the narrative.

Hero's journey

Hero's journey

We use well-known narrative structures to make natural change journeys and put the people who need to change in the driver's seat.

Designed dialogues

Designed dialogues

Talking to people will only get you so far. We help clients turn monologues into dialogue to harness the transformative powers of conversations.

Strategic storytelling

When activating a strategy, it is important to be very precise in the underlying narrative. We do so by driving alignment and focus and presenting the strategy in a way that engages the organisation.

We use dramatic tools like the core story and hero’s journey to shape the underlying story behind a new strategy or organisation.

By tapping into the “mono myth” of human history, we make changes understandable and cast the people who need to change as the heroes of the story.

We are inspired by the language of activism to get people on the same page, connect to a higher purpose and commit to change.

Transformative conversations

If your CEO could have a productive one-to-one conversation with everybody in the organisation, you might not need our help. But the reality is that this is not possible for many reasons. The time is not there, the message gets diluted when it is cascaded through the organisation or passed from mouth to mouth.

In all honesty, many leaders do not have the necessary skills to have these conversations the right way.

We design processes and game-based tools to help motivate, drive and shape conversations about change, reflection and learning. This allows us to scale up conversations, make them replicable, and ensure a productive outcome.

Fiction

Sometimes the best way to discuss reality is through fiction. Removing a discussion from the constraints of everyday work can help change perspectives and break up preexisting positions.

We develop fictional storylines, places, or characters for our games and competitions to add a playful and fun atmosphere, to make sharing less risky, and to challenge the participants.
