Input: [Name and Definition] Back stories (insider stories): Stories about what makes your organization tick and challenges it has faced and overcome — and/or stories associated with a product or service’s entire life-cycle, from beginning to end.

Output: Here’s how to find the story behind your product or service offering: 1. Reveal the inspiration or a-ha moment behind creating the product or service. Tell the story about the idea that created it or the need or issue that caused it to be brought into your business to sell. 2. Relay stories about how consumers can use the product or service in their lives 3. Tell stories about how a product is made or how a service transpires. Share pictures that document these processes.
