“One way to reach further down into your organization and have more control of your message is to conduct... regular... Town Hall meetings.”
Mark Horstman & Mike Auzenne are co-founders of Manager Tools
We’ve done more than develop - from the ground up - our own full featured custom presentation tool - designed to run extraordinary Town Halls.
We take groups, divisions and entire organizations through the fire, up Himalayan Mountains and to the ends of the earth. We seed them with the big stories; we bring them face to face with the dilemma’s and paradoxes that drain their energy, zap their will, dry up their creativity and weaken their commitment to the organizational vision and mission.
We directly confront TownHall participants with the “New Normal” of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) and we help them gain new leadership and team skills, attitudes and insights that directly translate into fitter, more agile, more inspired warriors & storytellers of your brand and organization.
By combining an immersive experience into the big stories that are of direct relevance to your organization and the challenges it faces – together with real participation and engagement from the bottom up – and visionary leadership from within – we bring the art of the Townhall into the 21st century.
"Right from the beginning everyone saw the analogy... I was transfixed watching 100 people becoming so unusually attentive and introspective and at the same time so engaged... This is a product that continues to make a difference to our organization. I unreservedly recommend it."
- Glenna Kaczmarczyk, Director of National Sales, Electronic Banking – Bank of Montreal
"The folks came in from Storied Ground and made about a one-hour presentation and, less than ten minutes in, I was sold.... People loved it and the interactions were outstanding. People had a good time doing it. The interaction was very passionate. It was really well done. It really integrated with our business objectives. We've used consultants in the past, but they've never really met our objectives as well as Storied Ground has."
- Dave McDonald, President of Bell Helicopter
“As the beta version of the revised simulation was presented to us, I was blown away by the limitless possibilities for the technical platform upon which the revitalized simulation was created. I believe this new tool- TownHall Builder- will be leading edge for the next generation of interactive processes and learning programs"
