As artificial intelligence permeates every aspect of our lives, the core human function of narrative—the ability to tell and understand stories—becomes more vital than ever. This talk introduces Narrative Intelligence, exploring how effective storytelling serves as our most powerful tool for defining meaning, building connections, and driving positive action in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms. We will delve into three critical dimensions: (1) Storytelling and Purpose, examining how personal and organizational narratives align vision with action and provide a moral compass. (2) Storytelling and Compassion, exploring the cognitive and emotional power of narrative to bridge divides, foster empathy, and ensure human-centric outcomes. Finally, (3) Storytelling and Community, discussing how shared stories create and sustain collective identity, enabling effective collaboration and resilient social structures in a globally interconnected age. Join us to understand how intentionally leveraging Narrative Intelligence can ensure humanity remains the author of its own future.
