![Page 2: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
We’ll be using a narrative process today. We call it
StoryTech. StoryTech is derived from Japanese Shinto’s animism, permitting easy construction of
virtual realities.

StoryTech was invented by the speaker in 1988. It has been used
with hundreds of public and private organizations, university
classes, and individuals.

The advantage of StoryTech is that it allows you, the story
creator, to be comfortable with your creation and to “own” it.

The focus of your StoryTechs today and tomorrow is to help

![Page 9: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let me show you the basic “social software” underlying
StoryTech.
![Page 10: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You’ll find a white paper cup on the table in front of you. Please
pick it up.
![Page 11: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Please look at the cup.
![Page 12: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In your mind, please change the color of the cup to pink.
![Page 13: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now, please change the color of your cup to yellow.
![Page 14: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Next, please use your mind to put a “happy face” on your yellow
cup.
![Page 15: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Finally, please ask the cup a question:
“Tell me, do you enjoy being a cup?!?”
![Page 16: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What did your cup “say?”Please turn to your neighbor and
tell her or him what your cup “said.”
![Page 17: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Now, what have we just done?
![Page 18: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You have used your mind to “virtualize” a common object and
permitted yourself to “speak” with it.
![Page 19: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
This exercise demonstrates part of the incomparable genius of the human mind: the creative use of
imagination.
![Page 20: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The process we’ve just experienced is at the core of all StoryTech exercises: the use of
imagination in a personally comfortable creative manner.
![Page 21: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The comfortable use of imagination to re-think futures and project their implications is what we’re all here for during
today and tomorrow.
![Page 22: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Let’s begin with a practice StoryTech. After we’ve done it, we’ll answer any questions you
need to have answered.
![Page 23: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PRACTICE STORYTECH
![Page 24: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When you have completed the practice StoryTech, please quietly discuss it with your
neighbor.
![Page 25: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Good! Are there questions or comments about the practice StoryTech? About StoryTech
itself?
![Page 26: Say “Hello” to StoryTech Arthur M. Harkins, Associate Professor, CIDE, and Faculty Director, Innovation Studies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d4b5503460f94a28c18/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Good! Now, let’s accomplish the “official” StoryTech for today.
I’ll read it through with you first, and we’ll answer any questions
before you begin to write.
