In november 2011, the research group in Sustainable Leadership will host a workshop where we will experiment with and explore methods for using narrative and storytelling in regard to doing research in organizations and in regard to leadership and organizational development. Our outset for the workshop is to explore different practical problems in order to scrutinize and discuss the use of narrative and storytelling methods in organizational analysis and intervention.
The workshop is part of the project Material Story Lab at Aalborg University, which is experimenting with research, teaching and development practices that integrate body, materiality and space in a new 3D version of the problem-based learning approach used at Aalborg University. Elements of this will be used as the learning platform for the workshop event. The workshop will thereby also seek to develop an alternative format to more traditional research seminars of paper presentations.
A group was formed o behalf of the seminar and the following link provides an entry to the group-site:
