Any organisation which forgets its past misses out on a great story. It doesn’t have to be a long history but people want to hear about the journey not just the current events. Of course some organisations are stuck in the past and fail to tell the future story. You need to tell all three – History, Current and Future.  This helps us see where we – the ‘customer’ fit in the story and join in.

The article starts on page 6.
