Performance improvement using Storytelling 

 1 . Challenge : In the automotive industry , the pressure for cost reduction is 

 extremely high . This , at the end of the day , translates into very lean work   teams that need to perform a large number of tasks on different topics . The   challenges in achieving results are enormous and a motivated team , even if   a small team , is key to make things happen . It is in this context , where   doing more with less resources is fundamental , that the Storytelling tool fits   perfectly . 

 2 . Selection : We all have good stories to tell . In my perception , it is one of the 

 most important tasks of a leader to observe the scenario of the challenges   around him and seek within his previous experiences , which ones best fit   the challenge that the team is facing at that moment . I used storytelling on   different occasions in my work at Spark Project as a powerful motivational   tool without cost of implementation . 

 3 . Application : In 2013 , the automaker in which I was the Quality Manager 

 was undergoing a series of transformations due to the implementation of a   new vehicle on the assembly line . The new product had a predetermined   launch date ( and could not be changed due to market conditions ) .   Operational performance was not good , especially related to electrical   connections ( which is currently the majority of operations performed by   General Assembly team ) . I had been in a similar situation before and knew   that a team with different knowledge and from different areas of the   company , with the necessary motivation and resources , could handle the   task . I selected the people , created the work group , together we set the   goals and before starting the activities I told a little of the experience I had   with a similar problem in a not too distant past . The strategy would be to   divide the tasks between the work teams , sharing in real time the results   with them and working on initiatives that increase accountability . The result   was a success , in addition to the team having engaged in the tasks , we   exceeded expectations regarding the results to be achieved and this was   the best vehicle launch at GM . 

 4 . Insight : Group knowledge is always superior to individual knowledge . 

 Different opinions with a common objective are able to leverage the results ,   we just need to bring the objectives clearly , form a favorable environment   for creation , offer the resources ( which most of the time are simple things   but that make a total difference ) and believe in people . Storytelling is a   simple and powerful tool that needs to be used widely in our lives ( not just   professional but also in our personal challenges ) . 

 5 . Approach : I believe that the challenge is to bring the benefits of storytelling 

 to larger groups of people . Applying this tool with small groups ( for   example , engineers or group leaders ) is simple , but applying this initiative   with people on shop floor we can achieve even greater goals .
