What we think...
Ernest Hemingway once claimed that his best story was written in six words: ‘For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.’ Perhaps this takes clarity and simplicity to the extreme, but what a way to spark the imagination! The Guardian challenged some contemporary authors to put forward their own six-word stories, which are worth a read.
Our own work focuses on making an organisation’s strategic story clear, simple and memorable. Imagine writing a strategic story in six words – anyone up for having a go?!!! I’d love to see what’s out there!

It is a small world. I am glad you pointed me to your post and the blog site. I will add it to my blogroll on my employee engagement site: http://www.davidzinger.com
I want to write a 6 word stategic story for the Employee Engagement Network. The beauty of 6 words is it is easy to move from want to do…
I came, I stayed, We worked.

I was at a conference a few years ago where a director of Powergen was asked what their corporate strategy was and his very brief reply can be summarized as:
More customers, sell them more things.
