The Storyteller figure could improve the Lessons Learned sessions. Do you agree?

Activating our memory with remembering of the project’s experiences facilitates the visualization of situations lived which easily leads to the detection of findings that might otherwise have been omitted. The incidents experienced moves internally the persons more than the evaluation of facts and figures displayed on a blackboard. A story is worth a thousand facts and figures reported.

Agreed. Yes, Visual memories do bring the good and the bad so you can clearly note down the ones that went wrong and improve upon it.

I am convinced of that. Data and facts alone can activate people but do not motivate them, it is necessary to shake them internally and a well-structured story could do so.

We are all storytellers. Facts don't speak for themselves, so we tell stories to give voice to the facts. Stories are inherently subjective, even if it's only at the level of deciding what to include in the story; but stories with high levels of salience to their readers/listeners make an impact and are more likely to be remembered and acted upon.

Using storytelling as a technique for capturing lessons learned can be useful. It must be carefully controlled so that it doesn't simply turn into a "walk down memory lane."

Storytelling should consist of telling stories that have morales to teach us.
