“Once upon a time….”
“… At one pole of the emergent global hierarchy are those who can compose and decompose their identities more or less at will, drawing from the uncommonly large, planet wide pool of offers. At the other pole are crowded those whose access to identity choice has been barred, people who are given no say in their preferences and who in the end are burdened with identities enforced and imposed by others; identities which they themselves resent but are not allowed to shed and cannot manage to get rid of. Stereotyping, humiliating, dehumanizing, stigmatizing identities”.Zygmunt BaumanConversations with Benedetto Vecchi (2004)

PROCESS DIAGRAM & SOLUTIONS
STORYTELLING AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND BRANDING
METHOD
ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZATION BRANDING
HOW?
STORY BOOKA story book tells the roles and the stories of the members the organization (in the way of a story). D.O.C is depicted as a garden and each member of D.O.C depicted as a character in the garden and their roles.
BRANDThe brand has been created
as a product of the association with two key
ideas:- working as a publicity tool and thus increase visibility
- to give more opportunities to members in terms
of business, creativity, and recognition
Branding serves the storybook in terms of the feeling of belonging. Working for a common product line will
strengthen the relationship between members in the
association.
Once upon a time…. ROLES
The sun is our main character. It gives light and positive energy for others to grow. In a way it is the binding force of all elements of the garden. The leader and the organizer.
The other important elements of a garden are the trees, the birds, stars and the moon. They thrive under the sun’s shadow and make the garden more beautiful in their own special way.
The grass, flowers .. etc. are the elements which are not so active in the
garden but of course they are vital to complete the garden and to make it
more colourful and beautiful.

Storytelling is the common point between both organization and branding. The point is association members feel that they belong to the organization. They are not just any member, they have roles and responsibilities which are relate to their characters, what we describe with the Garden Concept. As a brand, all association members are connected to each other with the concept of a product line. This makes them to work together for a common purpose, while the Brand provides a visible way to build their own identity.
