Storymining: eliciting stories and mining their content for cultural levers

This article describes storymining, a process that involves gathering stories and mining their content to ‘bring to the surface’ a deeper understanding of the adaptive and cultural aspects of the system. These aspects, or cultural levers, can then be used to inform action. The article aligns storymining with qualitative research and differentiates it from other storytelling interventions. The article also includes a case study of a storymining experience in a healthcare organization. The author suggests that HRD practitioners can use this approach in a variety of ways, including moving individuals, organizations and/or communities towards action and navigating complexity.
