Who Will Tell Your Stories?

There was once an old storyteller who sat by the fire near the beach, sharing his stories with the young. All the kids were fascinated with the tales told by the storyteller. The story of how the fire was lit. The story of why they came to the beach.

Then one day the storyteller was rightsized in a move to generate efficiencies and optimize outcomes.

Thank you for your service.

And no one told the stories any more. So the kids ate Tide Pods.

This is not fiction. 

Companies are draining their acquired institutional knowledge, or never acquiring any in the first place. 

Perhaps today is the last working day for someone at YOUR company. Someone whose knowledge will be forever lost.

Because your company’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion stops when the hairs turn gray. We don’t want any of THAT around here. Who cares about the brain drain when we have AI?

Using AI to solve the brain drain doesn’t end well.

Who will tell your stories? Bredemarket can try (learn about my content-proposal-analysis services here), but in the end I will probably be forced to construct new ones that lack the depth of the old ones.
