It’s Roald Dahl Day today 13\/9\/2018<\/a>. A day to celebrate one of the best story tellers and writers of modern times with around 250 million books sold worldwide.<\/p>\n

Stories<\/h2>\n

Stories tell a tale, something we can envisage and understand. They usually have a beginning introducing us to the situation, the main body describing the tale and an ending. (Whether a cliff hanger or tidy conclusion)<\/p>\n

In business we often describe a process as a story. Sometimes formally (BPMN), or sometimes as a descriptive user story. This tells how the item, customer, (character or actor) interacts with their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Often, as in the case with Dahl, the stories are further enhanced by pictures (often Blake<\/a>) which bring the situation to life. Diagrams can be used to model your user stories and processes to encapsulate the current focus in that chapter of the system.<\/p>\n

Read and Enjoy<\/h2>\n

Whether you’re dreaming of revenge as George sought, cunfuddled as a Twit. If you are wishing you could jump into a chocolate stream with Charlie, or being spooked by the macabre story of ‘skin’,\u00a0 remember stories are good for all. Children, adults (including business managers and engineers) all benefit from a story, whether for relaxation, or to help explain the complex. Go find a copy of a Roald Dahl and keep reading.<\/p>\n
