Stephen Denning Biography

Steve Denning is the premier consultant and author of books on the power of storytelling as a leadership and communication tool. No other business mind today has done more to show how leaders use narrative to spark change, communicate who your – and your company – are, get people working together, transmit values, tame the grapevine, generate transformational innovation and lead people into the future.

Steve, a former director of KM at the World Bank, now works with organizations worldwide on knowledge management and capturing organizational knowledge through stories. His clients include scores of Fortune 500 companies.

His highly acclaimed books include:

    The Secret Language of Leadership (Jossey-Bass, October 2007)

    The Leader's Guide to Storytelling (Jossey Bass, 2005)

    Storytelling in Organizations: How Narrative and Storytelling Are Transforming Twenty-first Century Management (Elsevier, 2004)

    Squirrel Inc: A Fable of Leadership and Storytelling (Jossey-Bass, 2004)

    The Springboard: How Storytelling Ignites Action in Knowledge-Era Organizations (Butterworth Heinemann, 2000)

Formerly Program Director of Knowledge Management at the World Bank, Steve was selected as one of the world’s Ten Most Admired Knowledge Leaders (Teleos), along with Jack Welch and John Chambers, in November 2000.  In April 2003, he was ranked one of the World's Top Two Hundred Business Gurus by Davenport & Prusak in What's The Big Idea? (Harvard Business School Press, 2003).  He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and has published a novel and a volume of poetry.

Using the energy and zeal of a gifted storyteller, Steve’s talks demonstrate how storytelling can help transform an organization and enable its reinvention.
