Read “Story Thinking Compared with 50 Change Models” by our John Lewis at https://journalsojs3.fe.up.pt/index.php...001_L001
 
Given that neuroscience has found evidence that we are wired for stories, there should also be evidence of our inherent connection to stories outside neuroscience, within the models we have created to guide transformational change. In seeking this external evidence, we first consider several story patterns to be used in this comparison. Then 50 popular change models are compared with a story pattern to look for evidence of alignment.
 
The findings provide evidence of alignment between a cyclic story pattern and many professional change models, and we also find some change models which do not align to a story pattern, indicating a profession that is not well understood. We conclude with some implications and recommendations for current professional change models related to healthcare, policy-making, education, innovation, and AI.
