The Communications Ethics in Organisational Storytelling & Organisational Narrative Series

Sexy title, ey? The image probably gives a simpler insight.

The assignment for my third year module ‘Values, Issues and Crisis Management Counselling’ moves beyond the tired old essay format, it even pushes the presentation aside to make way for a series of blogs. Putting what we’ve learnt into action. Student as Producer in action.

As I tend to do, I’ve adopted my own take on the question which we’re required to answer by trying to talk about in the context of something I’m involved in away from my course, this time it is the Higher Education sector. On this occasion though I have taken it a step further, I have attempted to bring it together with the themes of another module on the management side of my joint-honours degree.

Over several posts I will explore the concepts of organisational storytelling and organisational narrative as communications tools for organisations to provide a base for exploring the ethical dilemmas faced by PR pros, particularly the challenge of remaining ‘honest’ and ‘fair’.

Here’s a handy round-up of the various posts in this series:

Telling Stories to Achieve Serious Change

What is a story?

What a story looks like: The Heroic Vice-Chancellor versus the Bad Guys

From Management to Public Relations: Storytelling to Narrative

To be honest is to not mislead

Please do flick through and read one or two that take your fancy. You might even like to leave a comment or tweet a link out . I will be adding a final post or two informed by the feedback on the first posts so keep checking back.
