Once
upon a time there were three piggies. They had to get a message across.
The first piggy told his students all about the Audit Comfort Matrix and how it would save them from the Big Bad Wolf of Audit Discomfort. And they all smiled politely.
The second piggy told his students the story of a bold auditor, much like them, who was in grave danger from the Big Bad Wolf, and how he defeated the Wolf by using the Audit Comfort Matrix. And they sat forward in their chairs and listened.
The third piggy also made a story. His students were part of it. They felt the hot breath of the Wolf as he tried to catch them. They felt the reassuring heft of the Audit Comfort Matrix as their hands closed round it. And they felt triumph as the Wolf was defeated.
By and by, the Wolf came to call on these students.
The students of the first piggy had forgotten all about the Audit Comfort Matrix. The Wolf gobbled them all up.
The students of the second piggy remembered about the Audit Comfort Matrix, but they were not sure how to use it. They did their best. They struggled and they fought. Many survived. But the Wolf did not go home hungry.
The students of the third piggy knew exactly what to do. They audited their comfort. They comforted their matrix. By and by, they sent the Wolf on his way with his tail between his legs.
And the name of the third piggy was Talespinner.
I am a seasoned e-learning professional with 20 years’ experience of:
I undertake consulting, design and writing projects, and delight in opportunities to use the power of stories.
But I also relish anything that combines my long experience and wide range of skills to provide you with a solution that you didn't think was possible. There are people out there who are better at training design, storylining, scriptwriting, e-learning strategies, HTML and Javascript, graphic design, working across cultures and managing creativity. But there are very few who can combine them all... and on the same day.
