Narrate works with big organisations like Cisco, Ericsson, National Health Service Trusts and the United Nations Development Programme who have problems with understanding and then working with people’s perceptions and behaviour - the kind of complex problems in which the narrative people are running - or the stories they're telling - are a crucial part of the problem. What we do is help organisations see the reality of the current narrative landscape - where perceptions are fixed, where there are opportunities - and then we help develop and implement appropriate actions and projects so that the organisation and the population work together to create a better, more sustainable environment, which means * employees have a healthier, more innovative workplace culture * people live in improving societies with more economic opportunities * customers feel heard by the company and are more loyal * vulnerable groups are naturally more resilient to radical messages Narrate was founded in 2000 by Tony Quinlan to explore the effective understanding and use of narrative to address complex problems. With a background in communications, the organisation has evolved to work on subjects like: * salesforce improvement * counter-radicalisation * employee engagement * leadership development * gender equality * agile transformation * WASH promotion * culture change * merging organisations * sustainable livelihoods Clients include: World Health Organisation Pfizer Aviva United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Cognitive Edge BRAC Unilever Cabinet Office (UK govt) Cisco GirlEffect (previously GirlHub) Nike Foundation Department for Transport (UK govt) Zurich Financial HMRC United Utilities State Dept (US govt) AstraZeneca Middlesex University Pitney Bowes Deutsche Telekom HomeCredit Intl Foreign and Commonwealth Office (UK govt) iNNpulsa (Colombian govt)
