The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at IIM Bangalore hosted a webinar titled, ‘Use of Stories in Management Education’ on 16th June 2023.

Adapting teaching methods to meet the needs of today’s Generation Z students and keeping them engaged could often be a big challenge. This is where storytelling as a pedagogy tool can be of great help. A good story can stir up emotions, attract attention, remain memorable, and most importantly, make complicated concepts easily understandable. Stories inspire, entertain and delight the audience. Stories are a convincing way to communicate intricate ideas. Each listener can easily relate a story with his/her own experience. Stories often become the starting point for bonding between participants who come from different organizations. This webinar offered an opportunity to explore the use of stories in management education.
