“Between energy generation and its usage, Schneider Electric provides technology and integrated solutions to optimize energy usage in markets like energy & infrastructure, industry, data centers, buildings and residential. The organization has always been driven by an international, innovative and responsible mindset to shape the transformation of the industry it was evolving in. This was steel in the 19th century, electrical distribution in the 20th and energy management in the 21st”.This evolution needs sharing, communication and reinforcement. One of the current tools for that is corporate storytelling. It gives a concrete context to abstract terms like vision, mission, core values and strategy. But nevertheless, at the start of my thesis a simple, understandable, general story was missing. So I did research how Internal Communication can implement a structured and formalized process to improve corporate storytelling within Schneider Electric.In July 2011 I finished my thesis with a 9, graduated and gained international experience for 5 months.
