I've been gathering notes on storytelling lately and this piece fits right in!
Our government tech organization needs to "tell our story" better, to garner support for staffing and project funding, not to mention to build a strong culture for our teams, who desire to feel more connected to the work we do for our government colleagues (and ultimately the public).
We know too well that reporting our statistics alone has proven ineffective. We need narratives, too. We need protagonists. We need story arcs. We need heroes and adventures.
Our work is appreciated... in a clinical way. But we need to be understood on a human scale. We're not fully sure how to do it yet, but we'll get there.

That's so true, thanks for sharing.
