Christian J. Ward on Voice America’s ‘Leadership Beyond Borders’ show with Kimberli Lewis explains how stories influence both our personal and business lives

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 03/31/2020 --The shift from the oral recounting of stories to the technological reporting of those stories has been swift and effortless, although the effects of that change have not been addressed. What is lost or gained with technology, and how are the stories of the state of the world today being captured for future generations?

'It is a new world for everyone,' said Kimberli Lewis, 'and the messages of what is vital or important is getting lost in the current state of the world. But there are essential things that must be recorded for the future, and that information needs to be captured. The challenge has become being able to identify those essential items, what technology should be used, and still be able to create a compelling story. Christian Ward has the unique insight that combines technology and the art of storytelling.'

On 7 April 2020 at 3:00 PT, Voice America's Leadership Beyond Borders with Kimberli Lewis will broadcast the interview between Lewis and Christian J Ward, which will be available to stream on the Voice America website immediately after the initial airing.

the expanding applications of knowledge graphs and data asset optimization.

Lewis, who also runs Global Business Therapy, engages Ward on the topic of storytelling with an eye to the future: How does Big Data change the stories that businesses tell; how does the global population, which is living in a time of exponential growth in technology, manage to parcel out the technology best suited to longevity of stories, lessons, and business deals?
