As part of its sustainability initiative, EmployID has established a cooperation with its associate partner NARRATA Consult, which has many years of experiences in facilitating the use of narratives in business contexts, e.g., in the area of securing experiential knowledge of retiring employees. In a first meeting in Karlsruhe, Christine Erlach and Karin Thier shared their experiences and helped the project in its ongoing effort to make the knowledge accumulated in the past three years about introducing social learning into PES more accessible to others. The use of narratives is closely linked to identity transformation in two-fold way: (i) narratives are an important element of identities, and (2) they play an important role in transformation processes by communicating in a rich way the mixture of knowledge, experiences, and emotions. Therefore it was agreed that NARRATA Consult is an ideal complement to offering of EmployID. Further consultations and discussions will follow.
