It allows us to create a coherence and a richness within an organization that is otherwise not accessible.

It's a beautiful invitation to consider identify as a more sustainable source of power than behavior alone. That's why storytelling and storylistening is core to social transformation in communities. Social is more than updating content, speaking, as you say. It's listening to context. Thanks for this.

I would add one more, that an organization needs to do those things in way that has ecological and social integrity. This is not how I see most of our organizations currently operating. They are instead damaging the world in which they are operating. This is why we find ourselves in our current ecological predicament.

I think you are right. It is a useful point of clarification for me. I think the direction that is most fruitful is to create a tool for analysis and change. thanks Kevin. I think you are right.
