Fundamental Storyboarding®
Whether you're leading a business, shaping strategy, or preparing to influence others — Fundamental Storyboarding® gives you structure and spark, captured in real time and ready to use.
What it is
An indispensable tool of the Fundamental Group, Fundamental Storyboarding® is a creative way to sketch and share your draft answers to the questions that matter most to you and your business.
The process is often guided by prompts drawn from your Questions That Matter catalog — sharpening clarity, surfacing substance, and revealing your natural communication style.
Each storyboard becomes a strategic draft, allowing you to:
- Clarify your intent
- Amplify key messages
- Express both the substance and style of your thinking
The method includes moments to pause, fine-tune, and identify which parts of your response need further discussion, refinement, or research.
Every session is co-designed with you, ensuring it’s tightly aligned to your purpose — whether you’re preparing a paper, running a meeting, or leading a strategic conversation.
How it works
In a team setting, each participant engages live — shaping boards with markers, sticky notes, or digital tools.
As storyboards come to life, you’re encouraged to capture your thinking using your own smartphone:
- Photos – Snap each board for a clean visual record
- Short video clips – Speak to the board in your own voice; just 30 seconds makes it stick
- Transcripts – Use voice-to-text apps to record your brightest insights, verbatim
These assets create portable clarity — ready to revisit, brief others, or keep yourself aligned throughout the year.
What you take away
Each application of Fundamental Storyboarding® gives you:
- A visual map of your clearest thinking
- A deeper sense of ownership
- A natural next step for action and alignment
